The parade consisted of the Divine Land Marching Band, a Waist Drum team, a decorated float, and celestial maidens. Starting at City Hall, the parade marched through Chinatown attracting many passersby. Among the many banners and flags displayed by the practitioners, there were giant banners which read "The World Needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance", and "Stop the Persecution of Falun Gong". There was also a somber group of women practitioners wearing white dresses. Holding photos of Chinese practitioners who lost their lives in the persecution, their procession touched many spectators. Many of them took videos or pictures of the parade.
