(Clearwisdom.net) On May 8 and 9, 2010, Falun Dafa practitioners and Minghui School students from Philadelphia were invited to participate in the annual Asian Heritage Festival at the Philadelphia Zoo. The event was organized by the Mayor's Commission on Asian American Affairs, the Great Philadelphia Asian Culture Center, and the Philadelphia Chinese Development Committee to celebrate Asian Heritage Month.

Among the different groups, Falun Dafa practitioners' exercise demonstration and dances by students from the Minghui School were both outstanding and attracted many spectators.
