From Reserved Indoor Seats
Parade guests inside Veterans Memorial Coliseum have a true window on the world, as the curtains are open so natural light and views of the river and the west hills enhance the parade experience. These secure, weatherproof seats eliminate the hassle of staking a claim on the street, and include creature comforts with cushioned seating, restroom facilities, and announcers. Tickets will be available to purchase in early 2024. More details coming soon!

PRO TIP for buying Grand Floral Parade tickets: make note of the direction of the parade as it passes through Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Click the "Best Seats" tab for suggestions. Seats on the North end (Sections 113/116, 18-23, 74-82) will have a view of the parade coming toward you. Seats on the East and West sides (Sections 1-3, 12-17, 24-26, 51-53, 67-73, 83-86) will offer a side view - similar to viewing from the street. Seats on the South end (Sections 4-11, 54-66) are watching the back of the parade as it moves away from you.
