The parade started at 11:00 a.m. More than 90 groups participated. The Falun Gong entry consisted of the Divine Land Marching Band, an exercise demonstration, and a float. Their performances were warmly applauded.

The host of the parade gave a brief introduction to Falun Gong. He said the principle of Falun Gong is Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and their teaching is free of charge. He also gave the spectators the Internet link to the Falun Gong website.

This is the sixth time that practitioners have taken part in this parade. The organizer, Renie Champagne, said that he always loves Falun Gong practitioners' entry, because their performances are excellent and their floats beautiful.

The director of the parade, Mr. Huang Guoren, was glad that practitioners agreed to be in the parade this year. He said, "Their performances are always great. I hope they will attend future parades. Their principle is Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. They are welcome in our communities."
