The 2004 Taipei International Carnival Parade was held on the afternoon of October 23rd, 2004 in the NeiHu District, with more than 2,000 people participating in the event. Each procession had its own theme, catching the attention of the parade spectators.

Practitioners participated with a waist-drum troupe composed of 50 practitioners from the central and north regions. Although the troupe was organised less than six months ago, each member has practised every week and the team's performance has reached quite a good standard. Their bright yellow costumes and traditional drumming style were the centre of attention. Practitioners also presented various colourful traditional Chinese dances.

The parade was organised by the NeiHu District Office, in conjunction with NeiHu District University and Sijhihi Dream Community. Artists from the USA, Canada, and Australia, and many local schools and community organisations participated in the event and presented floats.
