Pasadena's world famous Rose Parade draws tens of thousands of people around the world each year. People often set up camps overnight along the 4.5-mile route in order to get a good spot to see the parade. For the third straight year, practitioners of Los Angeles area passed out flyers about the persecution and collected signatures along the Rose Parade route in Pasadena on New Year's eve a couple of hours before and after midnight. This year, practitioners also staged a Walk along the route. Practitioners divided into two teams on two sides of the road. The crowds were so heavy on the sidewalks that the parade group became disconnected from time to time. But this allowed for truth clarification as people showed interest. Most of the practitioners held posters while others distributed flyers. We distributed about 20,000 flyers along the parade route during the two walks. Over 100,000 people saw our message about the persecution in China. Many people expressed their support.

On New Year's Day, practitioners again went out to the parade route to pass out flyers and clarify the truth. In addition, after the parade, about 10 practitioners gathered at Victory Park (where the Rose Parade floats are parked) to demonstrate the exercises, clarify the truth, and pass out flyers and newsletters. Practitioners kindly wished the passers-by a happy new year while they passed out the flyers. Several onlookers expressed interests in learning. Practitioners chose a spot with heavy foot and car traffic throughout the entire three hours they were there, and, judging by the reaction of the pedestrians, the practitioners' presence made a big and positive impact.
