Taizhou has wonderful cultural activities, interesting festival activities, unique life activities, positive production activities and lively social activities. The influence of many folk cultures far exceeds the geographical scope of Taizhou, with extremely valuable historical and cultural value.

Taizhou's traditional recreational activities mainly include speech, singing, dancing and technique. Generally speaking, they have different styles. Some are elegant and beautiful, some are vigorous and simple, some are lively and dexterous, and some are witty and humorous. All these reflect Taizhou people's good wishes for life, love, freedom and happiness, as well as their admiration and worship for heroes.

The traditional festivals in Taizhou are mainly Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Mid-July Days and Winter’s Day. In Taizhou, the first three festivals are called “Human Festivals” and the last three festivals are called “Ghost Festivals”. To pray for good fortune, each festival has a number of traditional etiquettes and customs.
