Parking
If you plan on driving to the parade, it’s advised that you get there very early. Parade professionals suggest that you DART to the festivities, using either the Red Line (closest stations are Lovers Lane and Mockingbird). There’s also the option to Uber to the parade – watch out for deals, as Uber is a sponsor!
