The practitioners received a warm response from the parade spectators, many of whom had not heard of Falun Gong before. People were happy to accept flyers and bookmarks introducing Falun Gong.

Many spectators were moved by the practitioners' music, and a number of comments were heard about how peaceful and beautiful the music was. Quite a few people took photos of the Falun Gong group.
The host of the parade introduced Falun Gong to the spectators, saying, "The belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance will bring peace to the world."
