About the Event
This one requires warm clothes. The three-hour-long parade starts at around 8am on State Street and slowly goes through downtown to Congress Parkway and Randolph Street. Massive helium-filled balloons are once again the theme of the day with giant floats marching bands local and national celebrities dance troupes and others entertaining the gathered crowd of thousands all valiantly braving the wind chill. Some hardcore devotees even bring little step ladders to gain a few extra precious inches over the top of the crowds. Not quite as famous worldwide as the Macy's parade in New York City but if you're in the neighborhood it's a worthy substitute.
