Location
Know Before You Go
- Tickets: $$$ – Get tickets
- Parking: Parking downtown on parade nights is problematic. Ride-share services like Lyft or Uber are strongly suggested. Biga may offer limited $10 parking on a first-come, first-served basis, but this is not guaranteed.
- Pets: No pets allowed (glass containers not allowed on River Walk)
Tips & Advice
- Given the parking challenges on parade nights, plan to use a rideshare service or arrange alternative transportation to ensure a smooth arrival.
- Arrive by 5:30 PM for dinner to allow ample time to enjoy your meal before the parade begins shortly after 7:30 PM.
- Be aware that glass containers are prohibited on the River Walk during the parade.
- While dinner includes tax and gratuity, any additional drinks ordered will be billed separately and must be paid before claiming parade seats.
- If you wish to sit with friends or family who have also purchased parade tickets, indicate this when confirming your reservation, as specific seat requests cannot be guaranteed.
