The parade went on for 40 blocks and many people watched it. They warmly welcomed the performances of the band.

Clearine, the organizer of Falun Gong group, said that it was the first time that Falun Gong practitioners performed in this parade. A group of practitioners passed out fliers and stopped to answer questions people had about Falun Gong. From the Falun Gong entry, people could tell that Falun Gong is good for all walks of life because the team included 10-year-olds and 70-year-olds, Asians, Caucasians, and African-Americans.
