(Clearwisdom.net) On December 4, 2009, Falun Gong practitioners attended the Annual Christmas Parade in Philadelphia. More than 90 groups performed in the parade. The waist drum team, consisting of Falun Gong practitioners, was the only Chinese entry.

The parade started at 8:30 p.m. and was a mile in length. The practitioners' waist-drum team attracted much attention. Practitioners also passed out flyers to the spectators along the parade route.
