Tips from locals

Arrive early for the parade for a good viewing spot. In the central squares, some people show up as early as six in the morning. Abercorn Street is best if you have kids; Bay Street is better if you like a party scene. The best place to get a decent view is along Broughton Street, but there isn't much shade there, so bring sunscreen and/or a hat.
If you can, take a shuttle to the parade. There are parking lots and garages, but they get booked up fast.
Make early hotel bookings. The hotels along the parade path fill up the quickest. To learn what is offered, contact the hotels immediately.
