Being a Fort Myers native, where the parade originated, usually my family always found time to go down to the parade, but as all of us children are aging, many of us don’t find it exciting to push through crowds to see floats. This year we all enjoyed it from the privacy of our home. We got a chance to see everything the hundreds of people did sitting on the road did, but without the traffic.
Now I’m not recommending you watch it on television unless you have seen the parade a number of times. If you haven’t seen it ever, I suggest you take a stroll to Downtown Fort Myers next year and enjoy the parade and what it offers during its various days. Attend the block party, join the 5k race and enjoy the fireworks show. As for those who have seen the parade numerous times, I suggest you watch it on television to see your favorite float and enjoy the newly added floats each year because you have experienced it before.
If you missed the parade this year, view some of the 500 photos thanks to the News-Press.

I had a great time when my family went. We rode our golf cart around and backed up to the parade; talk about great seats!
It sounds interesting. I can't wait to try it out next year.
