On the afternoon of May 11, Falun Dafa practitioners in Atlanta, Georgia gathered on the large lawn in front of the American Civil War sculpture in Stone Mountain Park. They demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises, recited poetry, and sang in a chorus. The performances and exercise demonstration attracted many visitors, some of whom wanted to learn more about Falun Gong. Some learned the exercise on site.

On the same day, Milledgeville City celebrated World Falun Dafa Day for the first time. In the morning, Falun Dafa practitioners exercised in a group at a beautiful local park. After that, they spoke to people about Falun Gong and the persecution in China, and taught the exercises to anyone who wanted to learn. Some local residents doing their morning exercises were curious and came to learn more about Falun Gong.
