In the 21th century, the old downtown is one of issues when we are developing our cities. It is the basic concept for carrying out old downtown revitalization here or overseas that to consider the management of old downtown by public-environment and order improvement, and making use of historic property in the fixed district context. As the oldest city in Taiwan, Tainan’s history can be divided into the following periods, the Dutch Occupation, the Ming Dynasty, the Chi’n Dynasty, the Japanese Occupation, and the Republic of China, and showing the plentiful different period heritages. Now the old central-district revitalization is dealt with the projects of ‘Cultural District”, and declared the complete strategies in those districts. In those projects, the folk-temple festival is thought of a Taiwan-style paradigm for old downtown revitalization as a chance except being a feature of activity. This research, taking three cases of “the Circling round Shi-An-Jing on the lunar calendar Jan 15”, “the Sheng-Wang-Gong’s Birthday in Yong-Hua Temple” and “the Festival of Coming of Age in Wu-Tio-Gang”, will have discussed with the role-playing of folk-temple festivals in old downtown revitalization.
