Colorful floats, bands, horses, clowns and other entries thrill thousands of spectators each year. Many families camp out on the streets the night before to ensure a great seat to catch it all the following morning. The Parade starts at State Street and South Temple.
We encourage you to join us for a wonderful morning of excitement and colorful entries in our much-loved Parade.
Remember that businesses are in operation and residents live are all along the Parade route. Please respect their property! Let them get some sleep if you’re camping overnight nearby and be sure to pick up trash and remove all your camping gear (like that sofa or mattress that is headed to the dump!) on Tuesday morning before you leave the area.
