What's on

The 2009 carnival on 21-22 November filled the plaza in front of City Hall with bowls at NT$50 each, a county-versus-city cook-off, the finals of the beef noodle chef contest (semi-finals 14 Nov, finals 22 Nov, in clear-stewed, soy-braised and creative divisions), celebrity kitchens and a cooking class. The mayor announced it at a press conference on 3 November, where all shops pledged not to use US beef offal, minced meat or spinal cord. A 'Taiwan edition of the Michelin Guide' evaluation (15-30 Aug) picked the top 50 shops, announced 27 Sept, and for the first time the carnival travelled abroad to Macau Fisherman's Wharf on 16-18 October.

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.
