The Hohaiyan Rock Festival (traditional Chinese: 貢寮國際海洋音樂祭; simplified Chinese: 贡寮国际海洋音乐祭; pinyin: Gòngliáo Guójì Hǎiyáng Yīnyuèjì) was an annual Taiwan rock music festival held in Fulong Beach, Gongliao District, New Taipei, Taiwan.[1][2]
Names
[edit]The name "Hohaiyan" came from the historical fact that Taiwan is an island surrounded by sea and waves. Taiwanese aborigines heard the wave sound coming to shore with a melody of "ho-hai-yan", thus "Hohaiyan" ever since has signified waves and oceans to them.[3]
History
[edit]This free music event first started in 2000 on 15 July.[4]
Because the festival was inactive from 2020-2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the decision was made to terminate the festival in 2023.[5]
