Reviews
"The first hour of the parade was Sheriff Carmine Marceno and his many vehicles all emblazoned with his name Way too much!! More bands, floats and locals would be much more entertaining! I’ve been attending this parade since 2008. Thanks for a fun event"
"Got VIP tickets for $60 a person. Line to get into tent was long and the food line was long. The food was cold burgers and hot dogs. They oversold tickets and there was not enough seating for all VIP people. Also the restrooms were 3 dirty, dark nasty port o potties.. waste of money for an hour long parade."
"I've lived here since the 70s. First time I've been since the 80s. Was as spectacular as it was back then."
"I've never been fortunate enough to see the parade, but I finally did this year. Didn't make it out until around 830 at night, but there was still plenty of parade, as it didn't stop until 1030. There were some really cool floats and lit up vehicles, one of my favorite being LCEC's truck. I was with a group of people in downtown Fort Myers, near first Street, and it wasn't difficult to view the parade at all. People were nice and friendly, and we didn't have any issues with people around us. The only unfortunate thing was that one of the classic cars driven by the Shriners overheated and caught fire. The fire truck made it quickly enough, and police responded quickly, but it held up the parade by about 15 minutes and people started leaving thinking it was over. For the people left in the parade waiting for the car to be dealt with, there was a fraction of the crowd that was there earlier, and I felt sorry for them having to perform for the small amount of us that was left."
"Been going for a few years now. This years (2019) parade happened to fall on my 17th wedding anniversary. The food prices are ridiculous as are the prices for seats along the path of the parade. $10 per person for a chair. This years parade wasn't as good as previous years."
