The Hohaiyan Rock Festival () was an annual Taiwan rock music festival held in Fulong Beach, Gongliao District, New Taipei, Taiwan.
Names The name "Hohaiyan" came from the historical fact that Taiwan is an island surrounded by sea and waves. Taiwanese aborigines heard the wave sound coming to shore with a melody of "ho-hai-yan", thus "Hohaiyan" ever since has signified waves and oceans to them.
History This free music event first started in 2000 on 15 July.
Because the festival was inactive from 2020-2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the decision was made to terminate the festival in 2023.
