WHAT IS SPRING BREAK ON THE BEACH?
For over 20 years, the youth of Taiwan have flocked to Kenting for a long weekend of music, drinks and partying. Spring Break on the Beach has made this tradition their over the last 5 years, drawing over 10,000 partygoers each year now.
Taiwan’s growing interest in beach culture has fueled the festival’s rise and made it consistently one of the most memorable parties of the year.
WHERE AND WHEN?
The 2018 夏都春宴 Spring Break on the Beach will again take place at Kenting’s only 5 star Beach resort, Chateau 墾丁夏都沙灘酒店 from Friday, April 6th and Saturday, April 7th, 2018. Gates open at 2pm.
WHAT’S HAPPENING?
Spring Breakers will be able to enjoy two days at the most beautiful Beach resort in Taiwan, organized sports, world class sound and lighting, international and local performers, and three hours of open bar.
To work off the alcohol, daytime events will include ultimate frisbee, beach soccer, American football, volleyball and a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu exhibition.
During the day DJs will be dropping Latin, hip hop, reggae and other beach jams. Guests can swim in one of several swimming pools overlooking the beach and enjoy an open bar serving unlimited beer and cocktails from 3pm to 6pm both days.
