We went over for the 1st time this year, parked the bike at the docks along with only about 5 other vehicles. Everyone else parked along the street.
We thought that about 60% of the parade was very good. Things like the group of vets, the Seal Team 6 float, the lawn chair group, baseball team, what live music there was, the WW II vehicles and many others were great.
The many small businesses that simply walk along, with no thoughtful display, but just handing out info, added nothing to the parade and expanded the time to 90 min.
Our opinion: Overall we though that the parade was good. If trimmed to a 45 to 60 min parade by cutting out the zero thought walkers, but getting another band or two, it could be a great parade.
