How early do I have to arrive at the parade route to get a good seat?
Early! Get there 10 minutes before and you’ll be lost in a sea of standing spectators. Parade routes fill up quickly-even an hour or two before the parade starts won’t guarantee you great seats. For the best seats people will start to congregate 4 hours prior. But, depending on what you’re looking for, the street party can be just as much fun.
