The Taipei Lantern Festival officially kicks off on February 4th, with all lantern zones entering their final test lighting phase on the evening of February 3rd. Among them, the main performance area, headlined by the “Little Chick Family,” has drawn widespread attention. And every year, the most anticipated part of the festival—the “main lantern show” in the main performance area—will be fully unveiled to the public during tonight’s test lighting.
