Attending the Parade

The 2010 Parade begins at 2:00 PM on Monday, May 31st; and is scheduled to last approximately two hours. Pre-Parade ceremonies are scheduled to begin at 1:15.

The parade route is on Constitution Avenue between 7th and 17th Streets, NW. Pre-Parade ceremonies will be held across from the National Archives at 7th and Constitution.

The ideal place to view the parade is from the steps of the National Archives. Here you will be able to hear the announcers and see the parade at step off. You will also be able to see the pre-parade ceremony.

There are no bleachers or reserved seating provided at the parade, so come early to stake out your spot.
