The Parade Route
The parade route moves along 6th Avenue -- starting at Spring Street and ending on 16th Street (take note – in previous years the parade marched to 23rd St.)
Wear a costume if you plan on being a part of the action. If you're hard pressed to put one together for the outing, volunteer to carry a puppet in the parade.Typically, the parade ends at 10 p.m., but that doesn't mean the party stops.
