Yilan International Children's Folklore and Folkgame Festival (YICFFF, 宜蘭國際童玩藝術節), is an artistic festival in Taiwan, which has taken place during the summer vacation each year at the Dongshan River Water Park in Yilan County, Taiwan since 1996.
- The festival was canceled in 2003 due to the outbreak of SARS.
- Completion of the Hsuehshan Tunnel in 2006 made going to the YICFFF more convenient.
- The government of Yilan announced the festival's cancellation in 2007.
- The festival will be held again from July 3 to August 15 in 2010 as the DPP has again taken over the position as the government of Yilan since 2009.
