To celebrate World Falun Dafa Day on May 13th and to introduce Falun Dafa to more local people, practitioners in the State of Michigan participated in the fifteenth Michigan Parade held in Lansing, the state capital.
The annual Michigan parade is one of the important events in the state and its main purpose is to celebrate events and people from Michigan's rich traditions in agriculture, industry, recreation, education, athletics, sports, and government. This year's parade featured the 150th anniversaries of Michigan State University and the Lansing State Journal, Journal of Our Times.

More than one hundred organisations and groups participated in the parade, with a variety of nice floats. The Falun Gong practitioners' procession was eye-catching, with a beautiful float and exercise demonstration. A waist-drum troupe consisting of 30 practitioners also took part. The drummers played along to a piece of original music entitled "Falun Dafa is Good" and were well received by the audience.
Though the parade was held on an overcast and rainy day and the number of participants was smaller than last year, all participating groups and the hosting organisation showed up ready to go and in high spirits. They all presented wonderful performances to those supportive spectators who stayed to watch the parade in the rain.
Four reviewing stands along the parade route highly praised the Falun Gong practitioners' procession and declared every May 13th as "Michigan Falun Dafa Day."
