SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.—Despite the cold, rainy weather, hundreds of Falun Dafa practitioners from all over the Bay Area marched in San Francisco to celebrate Chinese New Year.
The Tianguo marching band led the parade starting at the Embarcadero and Ferry Building. Next was the dragon dance followed by a group of heavenly maidens, a group demonstrating Falun Dafa’s qigong exercises, a variety of China’s different folk and ethnic groups, and vivid banners. They all made their way through downtown San Francisco on Feb. 9, ending up at Portsmouth Square.
