情報簡介
．
舉行太平清醮又名「打醮」，是答謝神明、祈求合境平安的道教宗教儀式。
相傳在百多年前，長洲發生瘟疫，為了保境安民，島民於是邀請高僧喃嘸在北帝廟前設壇拜懺，超渡水陸孤魂，奉北帝神像於大街小巷中巡遊。瘟疫其後消除，島民自此每年都舉辦太平清醮，酬謝北帝神恩。長洲太平清醮內容十分豐富，有紮作、包山、會景巡遊、飄色、舞麒麟及祭幽等，充份反映出長洲的民間傳統風俗特色。

Intel brief
．
Jiao Festival is a Taoist thanksgiving ritual to express gratitude to deities and to pray for peace and safety in the area.
The legends say that over a century ago, Cheung Chau was devastated by a plague. In order to protect the islanders from distress, the people of Cheung Chau invited accomplished Buddhist monks and Taoist priests to set up an altar before Pak Tai Temple. They prayed and repented to the deities while comforting the strayed spirits both on land and at sea. The Cheung Chau residents also paraded the streets carrying the statue of Pak Tai. The plague ceased after the ceremony. Since then, the residents of Cheung Chau hold Jiao Festival annually to thank the miracle of Pak Tai. Cheung Chau Jiao Festival is rich in context. It includes paper crafting, bun towers, parade of piu-sik (meaning floating colours) and unicorn dance performance, and ends by spirit assuaging ceremony to pacify wandering ghosts. The Jiao Festival is a holistic representation of the traditional folk customs of Cheung Chau.
