Taitung County's Austronesian Cultural Festival is a recurring showcase of Taiwan's indigenous Austronesian-language peoples, documented in editions dating from at least 1999 through 2008, featuring large-scale indigenous woodcarving and performances by artists such as Paiwan sculptor Sakuliu Pavavaljung and Amis singer Panai Kusui. Its current operating status could not be confirmed in this research pass.
Confirmed editions span 1999, 2001, 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008, with the 2007 program built around a large-format live wood-carving exhibition
