From Hamburg to Kaohsiung, two harbor cities meet again through music and culture.
From October 31 to November 1, 2026, Harbour Beats brings Hamburg to Kaohsiung’s waterfront through live music from Hamburg and Taiwan, outdoor "A Wall is a Screen" film screenings, German food, drinks and cultural experiences.
Kaohsiung and Hamburg have been sister ports since 1999, sharing more than 25 years of friendship. Harbour Beats brings this connection closer to everyday life, inviting visitors to discover a city more than 9,000 kilometers away, yet connected to Kaohsiung by a shared harbor identity.
