Each year, Tai O commemorates the Dragon Boat Festival with the iconic Tai O Dragon Boat Water Parade - a sacred ritual passed down for over a century. In 2011, it was inscribed onto the third national list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

On the festival's eve, the three fishermen's associations in Tai O row their dragon boats to visit temples and bring back deity statues for worship. On the day of the festival, the statues are placed on sacred sampans towed by the dragon boats to parade along the waterways of Tai O, invoking good fortune and peace to the village.
