The 2026 Taiwan Culture Day Concert was packed with people at Dadaocheng Square. The Ministry of Culture invited all National Taiwan University to join in the concert.

The "2026 Taiwan Culture Day" commemorative concert was performed at 6 o'clock tonight in front of the Yongle Market Square on Dihua Street, Taipei City. The seats were full and the crowds crowded around the square. In the atmosphere where music intertwined with the Dadaocheng historical district, the audience jointly felt the vitality of Taiwanese culture of "cultural democracy, let a hundred flowers bloom". In addition, there are well-planned and individually ongoing Taiwan-wide networking and day-reading activities, and the public is invited to sign up to participate.

This year marks the 105th anniversary of the establishment of the Taiwan Cultural Association. The concert starts from the cultural enlightenment and resonance of the land in the Cultural Association era, and continues the Association’s spirit of promoting knowledge dissemination and social education. Through multiple forms such as music, cultural activities, and historical readings, it travels through the voices and memories of each generation, hoping to bring culture into daily life and allow different generations to participate in and create Taiwanese culture in their own way.

The main narrative axis of the concert embodies the spirit of the Taiwan Cultural Association. The prologue is "In 1921, we began to speak out." The Rotary Philharmonic Chorus, directed by Teacher Wu Wenhui, kicked off with "Skylight in Dadaocheng" and "Anthem of the Taiwan Cultural Association". Following the chapters of "Awakening of Roots", "Sounds and Shadows of the Era", "Traditional Integration into Contemporary" and "Call of the Land", the powerful singers Chen Mingzhang, Fang Youxin, Zheng Yifen, Tonggensheng (A_Root), and Shengxiang Band use different generations, languages ​​and music styles to connect folk heritage, literature and land writing, native language creation and contemporary independent music, allowing the music to blend into the beauty of Dadaocheng streets and the interweaving of historical scenes. The final chapter is "Cultural Democracy, Cross-Generation Chorus". Under the command of teacher Wu Wenhui, Chen Mingzhang and all the performers joined the audience to sing "Ruan Ruo Opens the Doors and Windows in the Heart", setting off the climax of the entire event and bringing a successful conclusion.

In addition to inviting the public to listen to music and stroll around the streets in Dadaocheng in the autumn evening breeze, and experience Taiwanese culture from urban life, the Ministry of Culture also has ongoing Taiwan-wide networking and day-reading activities. The public will continue to pay attention to the Ministry of Culture's Facebook page and the Taiwan Culture Day theme website as well as the announcements of cooperation venues for various activities.
