  • The parade began at noon to conclude the 73rd Festival Internacional de Primavera, drawing large crowds across central Trujillo.
  • The route advanced along Avenida España using the left lane, continued on Avenida Juan Pablo II past the Óvalo Papal, and finished at the Óvalo Larco on Avenida América Sur.
