Parade Day Tips Make the most of your parade experience:
- Dress warm — November weather can be chilly!
- Bring folding chairs or blankets so you can get comfortable along the route.
- Plan to arrive early to find your perfect viewing spot and enjoy the excitement before the parade begins.
- Plan for street closures. Street closures will begin at 8 a.m. on parade day. Streets will reopen approximately 20 minutes after the parade concludes, so plan your arrival and departure accordingly.
- Restrooms will be available along the parade route, including both regular and handicap-accessible portable restrooms.
- Bring the whole family and make a holiday tradition out of it!
