The Yilan International Children’s Folklore and Folkgame Festival is entering its 29th year. Opening next month at Dongshan River Water Park, this year’s edition is incorporating 5G and AI, as well as AR, VR, sports tech and more interactive technologies to give both kids and adults the experience of playing in the space between the virtual and physical worlds.
Music and lights meld with traditional diabolo for a performance that spans realms, creating a sort of “children’s multiverse.” This is the 2024 Yilan International Children’s Folklore and Folkgame Festival, about to open this summer.
This year’s festival is to incorporate AR, VR, 5G and sports technologies into an interactive, AI-driven playground. Participants can play an AR guessing game with popular anime characters or ride an aerial swing. For an even greater thrill, they can even zipline across the Dongshan River.

We’ve lain a solid foundation for the arts in Yilan and set down deep roots. This year’s festival is very exciting. You can fly over Dongshan River or see popular anime characters. World-class dance troupes will even be coming to Yilan to perform.
It will be the first time a troupe from Burundi in Africa will be performing at the festival. They will be joined by Peruvian scissor dancers, recognized as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO. To encourage more tourism, the Yilan County government is also giving away tickets.

In the two years since the pandemic, the festival has drawn over 400,000 visitors. This year’s technological advancements are sure to offer an exciting experience melding the virtual and digital worlds, bringing fun to children and adults alike all summer long.
