Taichung always has something on: a concert at the opera house, a gig at a live house, a big fair at the expo halls, a baseball game at the Intercontinental stadium or a festival in a park. This page gathers it in one place, each listing with its dates, venue, how to get there and where tickets are sold. We update it every week.
About tickets: we don't sell tickets and aren't connected to any seller. For each event we name the channel the organizer or venue itself points to, so you can check it and buy there. Details change, so confirm on the official page before you go, and never buy from resellers or from strangers on social media. → How buying show tickets in Taichung works
