Tips & Advice

  • Use the linked parade parking information before arriving to plan where to park for the crowded route.
  • Arrive early and choose a spot along Main Street; organizers expect a large crowd, and the procession lasts about 90 minutes.
  • Dress in layers for an evening outdoors, since spectators watch along an open street route.
  • Keep children close while watching from the busy route as parade entries pass along Main Street.
  • If you want to help rather than watch, volunteer for set-up or parade marshaling by emailing paradechairman@sealbeachlions.org.
