(Minghui.org) Practitioners participated in the annual Freedom Festival Parade in Randolph on July 12, 2025. As part of the the three-day celebration following Independence Day, the parade brought the festival to its peak, and the practitioners’ contingent was greeted with cheers and applause.

This year’s parade kicked off with a cannon blast and was headed by veterans and classic army vehicles. New Jersey Assemblymen Christian Barranco and Aura Dun, Mayor Joe Hathaway, and several elected officials in the county participated in the parade.

Practitioners performed waist-drum and lotus flower dances and demonstrated the exercises. As the only participating Asian group, their colorful costumes and lively drum music presented the beauty of traditional Chinese culture. Spectators clapped, waved American flags, and greeted practitioners. Many were handed Falun Dafa introductory flyers and immediately looked up the information online.
