(Minghui.org) The ninth Atlanta ice cream festival was held on July 27, 2019. Undeterred by the hot weather, local residents came to Piedmont Park to get a taste of different ice cream flavors. Besides booths selling ice cream and food, the organizers also set up a stage offering music and dance entertainment. For the ninth consecutive year, Falun Dafa practitioners were invited to go on stage and demonstrate the Dafa exercise movements.
