On the morning of September the 19th 2004, a Central America Independence Day parade was held in Los Angeles. Over 200 groups participated in this parade, including major governmental officials in the Los Angeles area, and governmental representative organisations from Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. Along the 3 mile long route was a crowd of Los Angeles residents from Central America estimated at more than 100,000.
Falun Gong practitioners from Los Angeles and San Diego participated in this parade and received a warm welcome. The largely Spanish speaking audience had a good chance to get to know about Falun Dafa. During the parade, some greeted the practitioners in the traditional Chinese way of placing their palms together in front of their chests. Reporters from quite a few TV stations took footage of practitioners' float and waist drum performance.
