Most of the Sikhs participated in this parade by wearing traditional attire and Dumalas. The participating Sikhs tirelessly manifested their martial skills in the two hours long parade, despite extremely cold weather.
Talking with Sikh24, Jathedar of Miri Piri Gatka Academy Bhai Gursharan Singh said that the parade acted as best source for American Sikhs to preach their identity among other US resident communities. He said that his Academy students have been participating in different parades in the US and recently they had participated in the parade on Thanks Giving Day too. He said that in future he will continue participating in parades across America.
