Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early to choose a viewing spot along Front Street, since the parade travels east from Fairway Shopping Center to 3rd Street.
  • Bring warm layers for an evening outdoors in December, when you’ll likely spend time standing while watching the procession.
  • Bring a camera or phone; illuminated vehicles and floats make the parade especially appealing for nighttime photos.
