The parade was scheduled to start at 1p near the Mystic Seaport on Greenmanville and wind its way to Main St, finally crossing the drawbridge and ending near the bookstore and Mystic Pizza. We arrived a bit after 1p and grabbed a private spot in my friends driveway (Thanks Em!) just blocks from downtown. Good thing - parking was already overflowing onto Allyn street near the I-95 junction!
High school bands, fire departments, police departments, trucks, motorcycles, go-carts made to look like mini-fire engines and mini-trucks, plenty of bagpipes and pipers, local organizations, civic groups, scouts, and local retailers were represented for about 2.5 hours! The last was the traditional Wells Fargo, horse-drawn wagon bringing up the rear.
If you've never been, it really is a great site to see.
