Parade Details:

11 – 11.30 am: Meet IABCN’s double-decker bus on JFK Blvd between 18th & 19th Streets. The first divisions of the parade are scheduled to kick off promptly at 11.00 am, but it does take a good amount of time for the first two divisions to begin marching. We are trying to cut down on “standing around” time!

3.00 – 3.30 pm: Parade ends performing area at 5th & Market Streets. Please note, our group will likely be finished marching around approximately 2/2.30 pm.

Upon completion of the parade, the Chamber’s bus will take guests back to area of JFK Blvd and 18th/19th Streets. You may consider parking in the general area of 18th – 19th & Market – JFK Streets
