We were woken up at 7:30am to the noises of the parade - a lot of yahoooo ing. The parade started at 8:30am and went until 11:30am and happened to go straight past our apartment downtown. We got prime viewing spots! Apparently the parade had 4000 people in the parade and 400 prelude parade people (yes there was a prelude parade, 7:30 - 8:30am) .
Some interesting facts:
Number of marching bands: 24-30
Number of floats: 40
Number of horses: 750
Number of entries: 170
Audience on the parade route: 350,000
