Going to hit up the Spanish Town Parade for the first time Saturday (just moved here in May).

Few questions:
Best place to park?

Best area for party atmosphere?

How early do I need to get there to get a spot along the route?

Thanks

There is a field you can park in on Spanish Town just on the other side of the interstate. There are also parking garages downtown.

These can be exclusive. If you want to attend the parade just get there a few hours before and park down Spanish Town Road(east of 110) as far as you need to. Won't be more than a 5 min walk to the parade in the MIDDLE of the most festive stretch.

However, the party atmosphere AFTER the parade will move to 3rd street which is a much longer walk from your car. Just something to remember. I'd still park there and get a ride back to it 2-3 hours AFTER the parade. I wouldn't leave it over night in that area.

Just avoid the "alcohol free" zone around the Episcopalian church.

Is ST the only Mardi Gras parade in BR or are there other ones?
