The annual McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade is one of the biggest parades in the mid-USA area. Falun Gong practitioners have participated in this parade since 2003. This year, the Falun Gong entry was led by the Tang-Flag Team, and also consisted of a celestial maidens' dance group and a float promoting the Divine Performing Arts shows.

WGN TV Station broadcast the parade, and almost one million families watched it on TV. Twenty-five bands from ten other states, including Texas, Minnesota, Ohio and Michigan, performed during the parade.
