TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – The 2019 Spring Scream (春吶) festival in southern Taiwan appears to have been a resounding flop this year, despite a guest appearance by the sensational Kaohsiung Mayor, Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜).
The annual beach party, under new management this year, began on Friday, May 3, but crowd turnout was underwhelming the first two days of the three day event.
Media reports indicate that on the first day, there were less than 50 people enjoying live performances at the festival, which featured four different stages and almost 20 live acts on Friday.
Food and item vendors at the festival were also disheartened by the lackluster turnout, with one vendor who rented a space at the festival calling the turnout “disastrous,” reports Liberty Times. [FULL STORY]
