Anyone going to the State Fair parade

I might take the kids to the state fair parade tonight.  Any tips from others that have been before?  With limited patience and attention spans, I won't be able to get there too early to garner a good spot. Where did you park? I have a couple of places in mind but imagine the street spots will be hard to get since they are in areas that allow parking still during 'rush hour'.

Re: Anyone going to the State Fair parade

  • I was wondering this myself.

    What street does the parade start ?

  • We're going, but I'm leaving the parking planning up to my siblings, so not really sure where we're going. I HATE going downtown, especially so close to rush hour, so this will probably stress me out.
  • Did anyone go to this?  I walked in it (with Hy-Vee) - I have never gone to it before.  I was surprised by how many people were down there!  Of course, the weather couldn't have been more perfect.

  • We went. Got down there around 5:45 and parked east of the Capitol and sat a block west of it. Loved the weather! I'm sure we saw you in the parade. I was scanning the HyVee people to see if I knew anyone. ;)  (I've shopped at the same one for 15 years and my hubby used to be a vendor so I know an inordinate number of people who work there).
