The event was gracefully organized in accordance with Lanna traditions, featuring vibrant processions from various faculties across the university. The program began with registration and parade formation, followed by a procession into the main ceremonial area.

Highlights of the event included the announcement and award presentation for the parade and traditional costume contests, followed by the Rod Nam Dam Hua ritual, where participants paid respect, presented ceremonial offerings, and received blessings from senior faculty members.

The ceremony concluded in a warm and auspicious atmosphere, with participants expressing respect and receiving blessings in accordance with tradition, followed by a shared refreshment session—symbolizing the strong unity and enduring bonds within the Chiang Mai University community.
