Horse drawn carriage, marching bands, floats, clowns on bikes- all of these and more are the reason that Savannah had the second (or is it the first) largest parade in the States- a great time to spend with family and friends- even if we have to get up at four am and get downtown before seven to get a spot when the parade begins at ten. The parade lasts over three hours. Often over four. And none of the watchers seems to mind- its all a big party anyway. Oh and the parade is such a huge deal for the city too. It is a holiday in Savannah. The schools are closed- as well as many business.
Except of course those establishments like restaurants and bars and those catering to all the parade attendees- this is the time of years to get a great source of their revenue.
