三年一次的「東港迎王平安祭典」,東港居民為了迎接代天巡狩千歲爺的駕臨,幾乎總動員,為期8天的祭典,從請王、繞境、宴王到送王,祭祀科儀完全遵照古禮,東港鎮處處可見喧囂熱鬧的繞境神轎與陣頭、虔誠膜拜的信徒,尤其,精雕細琢、彩繪華麗的王船更引人注目,當您有機會在迎王平安祭典到東港旅遊時,不妨深入體會在地的文化熱情。
東港迎王的由來:
台灣是個島國所以早期居民都以捕魚為生。漢人來台灣開墾,生活條件非常困苦。由於荊棘遍野,醫療不發達和衛生習慣不佳所以瘟疫肆虐。居民就祈求上天請王爺下凡,由王爺把瘟疫帶走。因此會將載有王爺的船火化,恭送王爺,也同時把瘟疫送走,為全鄉帶來祥和吉利。
對了,東港還有著名的東港3寶哦!黑鮪魚,油魚子和櫻花蝦~

10 Oct to 12 Oct 2015 ~ Taiwan's Boat Burning Festival ! Once every 3 years.... If you miss this year 2015, another 3 years of waiting.
This is one of Taiwan's top folk festivals. It involves inviting gods to earth, feasting them, and then asking them to carry trouble-causing demons and plague away with them on a boat. In the spectacular conclusion to the festival, the boat is torched to the ground on the beach.
Donggang is also famous for Sakura prawn and Otoro !!
