-Military Parade
-Fireworks
-other non-boring activities

Parade is by invitation only. :frowning: Concerts and other stuff are open.

Fireworks are to be held in teh evening at Dadaocheng in Taipei, Love River in Kaohsiung.

There’s a military flyby of 70 or so planes. Flying up the Danshui River and over the Presidential building. There’s a rehearsal for it from 6.50am to 7.10am Tuesday and 10.30 - 10.50 Thursday.

From today’s Taipei Times:

[quote]The defense display is set to last 40 minutes and will consist of various elements, including a ground parade, an air show and a parachute-jumping display that will involve a total of 1,082 military personnel, 71 aircraft and 168 vehicles, with a view to “demonstrate our self-defense determination and strength to defend the country,” Chu said.

The weapons on display will include RT2000 multiple rocket launch systems; Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs); 3,000 gallon water purifier vehicles; nuclear, biological and chemical reconnaissance vehicles; decontamination vehicles associated with chemical weapons activity; and various multifunction squad cars to showcase the country’s self-reliance ability and results, Chu said.

Military hardware used by the special operation forces, the chemical corps, the engineering corps, the telegraph corps and the marine corps will be introduced to the public for the first time in history, he added.

The ceremony, to be held in front of the Presidential Office, is planned to start at 9:22am with a performance by the Joint Military Marching Band, the Armed Forces Honor Guard, as well as the March bands and Honor Guards of Taipei First Girls’ School and Taipei Jingmei Girls’ School.


The main National Day firework display, which will last 40 minutes starting from 7pm, is scheduled in the Lugang Changbin Industrial Zone of Changhua County, in which 16-inch firework shells will be set off, unlike the 12-inch and 10-inch shells in the past, enabling the fireworks’ explosive force to spread to a diameter of 600m, the organizing committee said.
