Starting at 1 p.m., the one-mile-long parade route passed through Admirals Park, Central Park, and Bell Meadow Park, and ended in downtown Chelmsford. Falun Gong practitioners’ dragon dance team and waist drum troupe received warm cheers and applause from the parade spectators. They were invited to give a special performance on the stage. The parade’s host introduced Falun Gong to the spectators, describing the practice’s journey from China to the world. 

Mayor John Galley expressed his appreciation to Falun Gong practitioners and had a group picture taken with them. The organizers invited practitioners to come back to participate again next year.
