    Yes it will be hard to get a seat. It's stupid busy every year. I work dt so on parade day you have to come in early before the close the roads off. At 7am there's already tons of people. If you want a good seat you need to be downtown before 6am.

    ya for sure bcuz most of the tourists also think first and get a hotel room in the downtown core so the can just pop outside and grab a seat early without car/bus or anything like that just a 2 min walk..

    I'll be there as well, have cousins over from Ontario who are small and would like to see it, hell its going to be my first time seeing it and I live in Calgary haha.

    Going to end up burning to death, its going to be hot as hell tomorrow.

    what is a DECENT time to get there at to have a good seat?
    Do we need to bring lawnchairs or anything or is there enough seating in the bleachers?

    We came at around 10:30ish and found a nice spot in the shade right on the curb, my small cousins enjoyed it so it was worth the trip down. Those mini horses are the shit y0

    I watched from the cool comforts of a conference room on the 13th floor of my building. Those horses sure drop a lot of dung all over the place

    showed up around 9:30 at 8th and 9th and had a spot on the concrete barrier. Stayed for about 2 hours then jet. It was amusing to watch people fight for our newly vacated position on the route. It's fun to check out the parade, part of the Stampede.

    Thumbs down

    I wish I had known about this parade yesterday. Not sure if I would have wanted to see it or not, but I definitely would not have gone to sleep at 7 AM with my window on the corner of 9th street and 6th avenue open. Man.

    i just think parades are so boring, unless it was one in disneyland than its another story...you can feel like a kid again there.

    Ive always said to myself, I would hate to be walking through that parade route and have to hold up a sign or flag/banner whatever for the entire time. haha.
