I've never been fortunate enough to see the parade, but I finally did this year. Didn't make it out until around 830 at night, but there was still plenty of parade, as it didn't stop until 1030. There were some really cool floats and lit up vehicles, one of my favorite being LCEC's truck. I was with a group of people in downtown Fort Myers, near first Street, and it wasn't difficult to view the parade at all. People were nice and friendly, and we didn't have any issues with people around us. The only unfortunate thing was that one of the classic cars driven by the Shriners overheated and caught fire. The fire truck made it quickly enough, and police responded quickly, but it held up the parade by about 15 minutes and people started leaving thinking it was over. For the people left in the parade waiting for the car to be dealt with, there was a fraction of the crowd that was there earlier, and I felt sorry for them having to perform for the small amount of us that was left.

Best parade! So much to see and lots of energy. I'm from a big city and have seen countless parades. This is by far my favorite.

Very disorganized. Have gone for 5 years and it was very caotic this year. Hope it's better next year. Bought tickets for the first time from the red Cross. Not good seating and numbering was not numerical order. Bought 7 seats and we're supposed to be front row. Not. Will go for the boy scouts next year. Bought from cancer society in previous years but who knows what was going on with them tried several times and no one knew anything from their contact list sad used to be very organized.
