2025 new taipei city children's arts festival – monster world

in the magical monster kingdom, there stands a mystical tree of joy. using sunlight, creativity, and the laughter of children, this tree turned joy into magical inspiration, allowing art, performance, and culture to flourish. one day, the little monsters noticed something was wrong—the laughter was fading, the magic was weakening, and the tree of joy was losing its glow.

so, nine little monsters scattered across the world, setting off on a quest to recover lost artistic and cultural energy and bring happiness back to their kingdom! the 2025 new taipei children’s arts festival has the theme "monster world", under which new taipei civic plaza and fuzhong plaza is transformed into a giant adventure playground! from july 12 to july 20, we invite everyone to join this laughter-filled, magical journey. each corner of the playspace hides a mission waiting to be unlocked. kids and parents can complete art challenges and creative tasks to help restore the tree of joy’s energy! this large-scale summer arts event is specially curated for children, bringing them a unique artistic feast through performances, interactive installations, and hands-on creative experiences.
