Lukang Arts Festival is a grassroots self-funded performing arts festival initiated by The Kids From Lukang and The Lukang Renaissance. Since 2015, it has proposed curatorial concepts such as "local participation before local arts festival" "Community," "Connecting," and "Dialogue," making the festival not only a local celebration but also a way to build awareness and identity through curation. It has also transformed people's stereotypical impressions of Lugang and opened up new imaginations.

In 2022, the festival's theme is "Lók-tin ná bāng," which comes from the past when Lugang literati liked to call Lugang "Lók-tin" and the expectation of the "Lugang dream" for local revitalization. Therefore, the festival poster uses the painting "Ideal Township" of the Lugang big boat created by the painter Yeh Chia-wei as the background and seeks the assistance of local lantern font master Chen Ming-hui to write the "Lók-tin ná bāng" theme in lantern font. Drawing on the long-standing temple culture and urban scenery of "three steps, one small temple, five steps, one big temple" in Lugang, the festival design is inspired and actually printed on joss paper, presenting the imagery of joss paper production techniques in printing and processing. This not only strengthens the local cultural imagery of this home-grown festival but also interprets Lugang after the changes of times with its ancient charm and new urban personality.
