Parade Route
The procession forms near the Bay Model Visitor Center and cruises along the waterfront past Bridgeway, then loops back near Old Town.
Best Viewing Spots
Gabrielson Park: Waterfront space with clear viewing of both the parade and fireworks.
Bridgeway Waterfront: Scenic and easily accessible viewing along the shoreline.
Fireworks and Extras
A fireworks finale is launched over Richardson Bay following the parade. Arrive early to secure a spot and dress warmly due to strong coastal breezes.
Experience It from the Water
Rent a boat in the Bay Area and watch from Richardson Bay for unobstructed views. Plan a pre-parade cruise for sunset and stay out for the lights.
