In response to the approaching typhoon and the strong gusts and heavy rainfall potentially brought by its peripheral circulation, the Department of Tourism of the Taoyuan City Government announced today (22nd) that comprehensive typhoon response and safety protocols have been activated at the “2026 Taoyuan Halloween City” venue. These measures are taken to ensure the safety of visiting citizens, event staff, and performance teams.
