The practitioners' group was led by a gigantic "Falun Dafa" banner which was followed by three practitioners who held the Chinese characters Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, the principles of the practice. Following them was a float with 2 practitioners demonstrating the exercises.

Another group followed behind the float displaying "Falun Dafa" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" flags. While hoisting the flags high and upright, the practitioners waved to the spectators.
