On the 13th and 14th of September, England's second largest city held its annual International Arts Festival. Tens of thousands of people from all over Britain attend the "Birmingham Arts Fest" every year and this is the second time that UK Falun Gong practitioners have taken part.

During the 2 days of this activity, the Falun Gong stand attracted many people. Our table was covered with different kinds of Dafa materials to let people know not only about the practice, but also about the brutal persecution that is happening in China. Practitioners displayed a set of posters beside the Falun Gong stall. Many tourists took Dafa materials before reading the posters carefully. When practitioners gave a traditional Chinese Drum performance, Lotus Dance or demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises, people crowded round and blocked the passage in front of the stall to such a degree that it created quite a traffic jam. Practitioners who gave out leaflets were rushed the whole day due to the enormous amount of people. When practitioners demonstrated the exercises, a great deal of people crowded round to watch and take pictures. In this lively and busy arts festival, the inner peace and calmness of the Falun Gong practitioners left the public with wonderful memories. Many people came to know the truth about Dafa through this arts festival.
