Currently there are more than 100 different annual local festivals, including the Ilan International Children's Folklore and Folk Games Festival, the Pingtung Bluefin Tuna Cultural Festival, the Taiwan Flower Expo, and the Kungliao Ho-Hai-Yan Rock Festival.
目前在台灣每年有上百場的嘉年華會：宜蘭的童玩節、屏東黑鮪魚文化觀光季、彰化花與綠博覽會、貢寮海洋音樂季等等。這些融合地方產業、文化、觀光與娛樂的藝術節，藉由文化創意，讓地方產業加值，也可以帶來可觀的經濟效益。
