當中華民國於1912年成立的時候，台灣是在日本的統治之下。當日本於第二次世界大戰末期投降時，中華民國政府於1945開始在台灣執行管轄權。第一個在台灣慶祝的雙十節是在1949年。

雙十節的慶典傳統上是以總統府前的升旗典禮及唱國歌開始的。緊接著就是各種的台灣文化表演，近幾年來原住民文化表演也加入慶典中。最後由總統向全國演說。

在二十世紀時期，閱兵典禮通常是慶祝活動一部分，國外使節及各界顯要也會受邀來觀看閱兵典禮。很有可能閱兵典禮將只是歷史紀錄而已。

Taiwan was under Japanese rule when the ROC was established in 1912. After Japan surrendered at the end of World War II, The ROC government began exercising jurisdiction over Taiwan in 1945. The first celebrated Double Ten Day in Taiwan took place in 1949.

The celebration traditionally begins with a flag-raising ceremony along with a public singing of the National Anthem in front of the Presidential Office Building. It is then followed by many aspects of traditional Taiwanese cultures. Aboriginal cultures have been integrated in recent years. In the end, the president would address the country.

In the 20^th century, a military parade would usually took place and foreign ambassadors and other dignitaries would be invited to view the parade. It is likely that the military parade will always be a historical documentary.
