There's still time to see the parade floats without the whole parade part. The post parade Showcase of the Floats runs today and tomorrow at the end of the parade route on Sierra Madre Blvd. An estimated 150,000 people are going to attend just this part, so there are shuttles to and from the Sierra Madre Gold Line station and a few park and ride lots. And if you want to be super fancy, download the audio tour from iTunes before you go.




I went there yesterday and I recommend getting there early, wear good walking shoes (roughly 2.5 miles back and forth) and bring a hat and snacks (5 bucks from lemonade, wtf?).
The shuttles were great, but again, get there early - the lines for tickets + the other line to get in the buses are hella long.
Thanks for the insight, Robert!
