This year, 1,300 overseas compatriots attended, and 1,000 lucky people entered the venue by lottery. However, pro-unification factions and independent factions protested outside the presidential palace and were expelled by the police.
The crowd vigorously waved the nation's flag to congratulate the Republic of China on a happy birthday. The 2022 National Day Ceremony this year was still quite lively. The rain was not small, but it still did not dampen people's enthusiasm. As many as 1,300 overseas compatriots attended, and 1,000 people entered the venue through a lottery system. In the face of rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait, the theme of this year's National Day focused on "working together to defend the homeland and the country." Overseas compatriots showed support for Taiwan with their actions.
Overseas Compatriot: “Where would you love if you don't love Taiwan? I grew up eating rice here. Of course, I love Taiwan.”
Overseas Compatriot: “One country on each side. That's what I hope. We can make up our own minds about our country.”
Guests invited to attend this year include former President Ma Ying-jeou, former Vice President Chen Chien-jen, PFP Chairperson James Soong, and TPP chairperson Ko Wen-je. The flower arrangement at this year's ceremony integrates the beauty and cultural meaning of Taiwan's local ecology. The 20-meter-long arrangement on the main podium conveys Taiwan's tenacious vitality.
The concierge staff in charge of receiving guests no longer wear red, but instead white. Their uniform is combined with Taiwanese elements such as Taiwanese cloud leopards and Taiwanese barbets, making it quite refreshing.
Lin Sung-tse, Concierge: “I started off as the most junior and now I'm Captain. For me, every time is very special. I believe my experiences from the previous two ceremonies help me lead my team better to complete this task.”
To avoid an escalation of conflict, the police raised signs twice to warn against both groups.
大力揮舞國旗，祝賀中華民國生日快樂，111年國慶大典登場，今年場下依舊相當熱鬧，上午雨勢不小，仍澆不熄民眾熱情，有多達1300位僑胞出席，也開放1000人抽籤入場，對於兩岸局勢緊張，今年國慶主題聚聚焦「守土衛國，你我同行」，僑胞用行動力挺台灣。
僑胞說：「不愛台灣要愛哪裡，在這裡吃水米長大的，當然是愛台灣。」
另一名僑胞也提到：「一邊一國啦，就希望這樣，我們自己可以，自己決定我們國家的這個事。」
今年進場的民眾，每人都能獲得一頂特別的漁夫帽，上面有包括台北101，以及鵝鑾鼻等台灣著名的景點。今年獲邀參加的嘉賓包括前總統馬英九、前副總統陳建仁、親民黨主席宋楚瑜、民眾黨主席柯文哲等人。今年大會的花卉布置融入台灣在地生態之美與文化意涵，製作出長達20公尺的主席台布置，傳遞台灣堅韌的生命力。負責接待嘉賓的禮賓人員，服裝不再以紅色系為主，而是以清新的白色為基底，結合台灣雲豹、五色鳥等台灣元素，讓人耳目一新。
禮賓人員林嵩澤說：「從最小的學弟到現在的隊長，那其實對我來說，每一次都是非常特別的，那我相信有前面兩次經驗，我可以更好地帶領我的團隊，完成這項任務。」
總統府外圍也來了統派跟獨派的團體，雙方隔空叫囂，而台北市警方為了這次國慶大典，也出動1500名警力，用高規格的維安維護秩序。避免衝突升溫，警方兩度舉牌警告，順利勸離統派、獨派團體，警方在總統府外圍四周加強維安，不讓場外雜音影響典禮舉行。
