In addition to the annual Hakka holiday in July to commemorate the Yimin Militiamen, which ranks as the most important Hakka religious celebration of the year, Hakka theater is also performed on many other occasions, including Matsu's birthday in the first lunar month, the Jade Emperor's birthday on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and various other holidays throughout the year.
除了客家人最重視的七月義民節外，正月媽祖生、正月初九天公生、七月半、八月半、收冬做醮，都是客家演戲的日子。
