In July 2026 Chiayi City highlighted its role in Taiwanese baseball by hosting the Chinatrust Brothers at KANO Stadium, with Mayor Huang Min‑hui throwing the opening pitch. The same month the city launched the inaugural Tao Xi Parent‑Child Arts Festival, featuring music concerts, workshops, and performances aimed at children and families.

Later that month the wider Chiayi region extended its cultural programme. Chiayi County opened its fifth Indigenous Music Festival, showcasing Taiwanese folk traditions alongside a South Korean folk band and planning a headline concert in October. A Taiwan Food Expo pavilion displayed Tsou tribal cuisine and crafts, drawing a visit from President Lai Ching‑te. Together, the events illustrate Chiayi’s ongoing effort to promote sports, indigenous heritage, and cross‑regional cultural exchange throughout 2026.
