(Clearwisdom.net) On October 4, 2008, Falun Gong practitioners in Long Island, New York participated in the Irish Day Parade in Long Beach.

Practitioners at the front of the procession held a large banner that read, "Falun Dafa" and walked along to the beautiful music of "Pudu." Many spectators took photos and applauded the practitioners' procession. Many called out, "Wonderful, beautiful!" Congressman Peter King and local government officials also watched the parade.

After the parade, several spectators came up to have photos taken with the float. After watching the parade, a manager from Kennedy Airport invited the practitioners to participate in a holiday celebration activity at the airport.
