In particular, many had planned family outings, and the rain caused even more inconvenience. Still, many visitors stuck to their original plans and attended, while others traveled from central and southern Taiwan to join. Everyone’s common concern was whether the parade would be canceled due to the rain.
According to the organizer, the parade will continue in light rain but will be canceled in heavy rain. Currently, it is advised that visitors planning to attend wear raincoats; umbrellas may obstruct visibility, so cooperation is appreciated.
The fan page of the “Taipei Tourism Network,” managed by the Taipei City Government, has also been flooded with comments from netizens, expressing concern that the rain is also quite disadvantageous for the parade performers. Many worry that the 13–14°C temperature combined with rain might “make Mickey and Peppa Pig catch colds”—showing just how highly this parade is anticipated and watched. Whether it will proceed as normal awaits an official announcement from the organizers.
