Event information checked · All times are Shanghai time (UTC+8).
What to see & when to go
八仙纳福游园会 runs through Oct 7. The Eight Immortals parade is announced for Oct 1–3 during the National Day holiday; a music program is also listed for Oct 6. Performances and workshops follow separate schedules.
Our visit suggestion: Choose Oct 1–3 if the Eight Immortals parade is your main draw; confirm the day's start time before setting out. An evening visit also suits the lantern-lit lanes. Temple visits are a separate part of the outing.

Getting there

Do I need a ticket or reservation?
Confirm the day’s parade times, workshop fees and registration with Longhua Hui. Temple admission is separate from the shopping district’s autumn program.
Can I enjoy it without speaking Chinese?
