Viewing Tips

⏰

Arrive before 5:00 PM to secure your spot — Main Street fills up fast near the start.

🪑

Bring lawn chairs or a blanket. The sidewalks along Main Street are the prime viewing zones.

☀️

Apply sunscreen before the parade — especially important for the Saturday parade when it's hottest.

🏛️

Best sightlines are near City Hall in the middle of downtown — floats look great from there.

🅿️

Street parking is available on side streets. Arrive early for the closest spots to Main Street.

🎉

Cheer loud! Marching bands, community floats, fire trucks, and special guests line the route.
