(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners from New York helped light up the night during West Chester's annual Christmas Parade on December 6, 2019. This was the 12th year they've been invited to participate in the popular parade and they were the only Asian group.
“One of the top ten places to experience the arrival of Santa Claus during the holiday season,” according to USA Today, this year marked the parade's 40th anniversary. Hosted by the Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce, it was larger than previous years, with 6000 participants and over 40,000 spectators on site. QVC headquartered in West Chester, 6ABC TV of Philadelphia, and some social media live-streamed the event.
