i was a majorette in HS - in Pittsburgh where you can't walk 10 ft before you are walking uphill. I marched up and down the Pittsburgh mountains for many miles in parades and came home many a holiday too tired to enjoy the remainder of the day. That kinda took away the joy of parades for me. On the upside - I am 65 years old and have never had any heart problems - I attribute that at least in part to spending my youth marching up & down the mountainous terrain here.

I love them! They are part of Americana. Especially if it's a town small enough that you know just about everybody.

There is a parade July 24th at a small town near here. It is the perfect hometown parade, this year they estimated a little over ten thousand people were there to watch it. What is nice is that it winds through the town and there is a big shady park to watch under the trees, also families have big reunions that day and sit in their front yards under the trees.
Baked goods sale early in the morning that sells out quickly.
In the afternoon, lots of activities in another park, wall climbing etc. So this parade is really part of a big celebration. So many people it took an hour to get out of it.
Very fun, and then BBQ at DD's.

I live one block away from the St. Patrick's Day Parade. My street is the first one to the north where people can park.
I HATE IT!!!!!
It's nothing but a bunch of drunk out of control grown ups.

Being a band member, I always had to march in the Memorial Day parade. So often, it was hot and humid which was miserable because we had uniforms that I swear must have been made out of wool.
