This event takes place once a year and over ten thousand people attended, amongst them many were families from different cities. On the spacious lawn, there were concerts, dancing, people selling food and drinks and those selling souvenirs. Everywhere was permeated with the atmosphere of a festival.

Falun Gong practitioners erected a yellow tent on the lawn, particularly eye catching. A banner celebrating Falun Dafa day hung on the front side of the tent, on the side were photographs commemorating the spread of Falun Dafa; on top of the material table the Falun Dafa books were exhibited. During the two days of activities the Falun Dafa students were divided and orderly, some demonstrated the exercises, some explained to the people what Falun Dafa is and how the persecution was still happening in China.

A large number of Belgian people came to the Falun Dafa tent to watch the exercises demonstration and also asked for material. After coming to understanding the truth of the persecution, many people expressed: “What can I do to support you?”

Danielle lives near Bruges city. He is a member of Greenpeace, a protector of the natural environment. When Falun Gong practitioner Wilfried Duchamps started to tell him what Falun Gong is and how the persecution of Falun Gong by the CCP started and also how brutal it was, and how during the nine years of the persecution thousands had been persecuted to death, and upon hearing how the evil party carries out live organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners organs, Danielle said “I cannot hear anymore, my tears already want to flow”. After turning around and leaving for a while, he came back, and asked to sign his name against the persecution.

Afterwards, Danielle returned many more times to the Falun Dafa tent, to ask Falun Gong students to understand more detailed information about Falun Gong and also watched practitioners practicing on the lawn. Finally after he asked practitioners about where he could study and practice Falun Gong, he left with a pleased smile on his face.

An teacher called Helsen, after coming to know what Falun Gong is and about the persecution that has been happening to this day in China, she and her daughter Zouters, signed their names in the petition to stop the persecution of Falun Gong. Then she asked a practitioner called Kamen “Can I have a page of petition paper please? I would like to bring it back to school, to let the people I work with sign it” After obtaining a signature list and after she requested some truth clarification materials, she left with her daughter.

During the two days of activities, many Belgian people came to understand the truth about Falun Gong, and also signed their names to negate the persecution of Falun Gong.
