What's on

The first Taipei Beef Noodle Festival, started under Mayor Ma Ying-jeou, ran through the summer of 2005 with an online vote for 20 favourite beef noodle shops, a mobile beef-soup truck, and a creative beef noodle contest. The headline 'beef noodle carnival' was announced for 24 September 2005, and the creative-noodle title was decided at the Red House on the same date. The creative champion's 'shabu beef cold noodles' was later sold by home delivery. The festival's own site called it a 'miracle of food' and published a final report after it closed.

How to read festival information

We work to keep festival information right, but festivals are run by others and details change. Here is how to read what you see on SoupFestivals.

Confirmed or expected

A confirmed date was announced for that edition. An expected date, such as "usually held around mid-October", is an estimate based on past editions, not an announcement.

Places can be approximate

We show a map pin and directions only when the venue's location is verified. If it is still unconfirmed, we keep the known venue name and town without a pin.

Check before you travel

Dates, prices, menus and venues can change, and festivals can be cancelled. Always confirm with the organizer before you go. If their information differs from ours, theirs is the one to follow.

Help us keep it right

If something looks wrong, tell us and we will look at it. Organizers can claim their festival page to send us updates.
