Organized by Chang Wang, Yan Chung-hsien, Sean Hu, and Liou Wei-gong and hosted by Vieshow Square, the festival aimed "to give the city some atmosphere and improve its urban aesthetics." That same year, the Taipei City Cultural Department promulgated regulations on busking in Taipei, enabling buskers to perform in public places without breaking the law.
也是該年，北市文化局因勢利導，率先通過實施「台北市街頭藝人從事藝文活動許可辦法」，讓街頭藝人在公共場所的常態演出有法可循，並規範「工藝類展演須在現場創作及完成，否則不得販售」，以釐清街頭藝人與攤販的差別。
