Expect drum lines, step teams, mounted units, classic cars, decorated floats from local schools and churches, and dignitary speakers at the staging point. Arrive 30 to 45 minutes before the listed start time to claim curb space — popular routes fill quickly. Bring water, sunscreen, folding chairs, and a hat.
