The Parade typically runs an hour and a half from its start to finishing point. The parade route is roughly 2.5 KM.

Waterfront Park is conveniently located next to Greater Vancouver's best public transit links. Take the Skytrain downtown and then hop on the Seabus, which will drop you at Lonsdale Quay, next to Waterfront Park. Just follow the music!
