The annual street parade is the largest community festival in west Sydney. Falun Dafa was invited to participate for the ninth time in the parade on May 30 this year. It was the only Asian group in the parade and the procession received warm feedback.

The powerful Celestial Band, elegant fairy dance and valiant waist-drum troupe won cheers and applause during the parade. With inspiring spirit the Falun Dafa procession unfolded beautiful traditional Chinese culture.

Falun Dafa received two awards, the Champion Community Entry and Champion Band. The local government announced that Falun Dafa will lead next year's parade.
