During the parade, practitioners on the float continuously demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises and displayed the beauty and peacefulness of Dafa to the spectators. The Fan Dance team and the waist drum troupe also spared no effort in their performance. Wherever they passed by, spectators' applause could be heard. Along the parade route, practitioners were busy distributing Falun Dafa introductory literature to the spectators. People were happy to receive them.
