Held under the slogan “Shine Bright, Bamboo!” this year’s festival celebrates the spirit of bamboo with a message of hope. During the day, visitors can enjoy lively hands-on programs and performances. At night, the bamboo forest lights up, offering a completely different festival experience.

As visitors walk through the bamboo grove and listen to the wind moving through the trees, they can take in the history, culture, and natural beauty of Damyang.

In the green bamboo forest, the festival offers bright, memorable moments filled with hope.
