The move

Watch free from Las Olas or a riverfront restaurant, or buy grandstand seats at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park for a guaranteed spot.

Getting there

Downtown and Las Olas parking fills by late afternoon — arrive early or rideshare.

Running since 1971, it bills itself as the world's most-watched holiday parade, drawing about a million spectators along the route.

Make it an outing

Pair it with dinner on Las Olas Boulevard beforehand.
