Participants in the festival weren't limited to Taipei. Besides students from all levels of the city's schools, there were also groups of performing folk artists from Lukang and illuminated floats sponsored by the tourist industry and temples around the island.
而且台北燈會的參與者並不限於當地，既有北市各級學校的學生花燈作品，也有鹿港的民俗團體；電動花車則來自各縣市寺廟與觀光業者的贊助。
