This was the sixth time that Falun Gong practitioners have participated in this parade. They made a "Fa-boat" float, which was warmly welcomed by the spectators.

It was the 105^th Starlight Parade in Portland. The parade started just after dusk. Practitioners demonstrated the exercises on the float, which was 40-foot long, 12-foot wide and 24-foot high. It was designed by four engineers who practice Falun Gong, and took practitioners about 1000 man-hours to finish.
