What to expect
Costumes, drums, and city pride in motion
The street parade is one of the festival’s most visual moments, with contingents moving through the city in color, rhythm, and performance. Visitors can expect high-energy street dancing, traditional costume details, and crowd-friendly viewing points along the route.
Choose your viewing area early and keep pathways open for performers, marshals, and emergency access.
Performance Flow
Let the route breathe
Keep bags close, stay behind marshal lines, and give performers enough room for choreography and drumline movement.
Planning Notes
Make the parade easier to enjoy
Bring personal sun protection and hydrate before the route fills.
Arrive early if you need a calmer viewing edge.
Use fast shots and avoid stepping into the route.
Wait a few minutes before moving to avoid crowd pressure.
