Fifteen decorated parade cars split into two groups going to the north and south of the city. This was also the innovation and highlight of the 2017 street art festival.
 
The cars were decorated based on the typical cultural features of Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa, Vietnam’s cultural heritages and specific images of some countries in the world. 
 
The locals and tourists enthusiastically welcomed the parade. The parade also paused at some places to exchange with the audience.
