Florida Citrus Parade

Closed streets, citrus fruits and big diesel-chugging engines – this event is Orlando. The annual fruit parade brings a long string of citrus-adorned floats and marching bands through down- town Orlando in a celebration of Florida Citrus Sports and two big bookending events: the Russell Athletic Bowl and the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl football games. You can reserve seating through Ticketmaster, or you can BYOC(hair) and show up early to tailgate it with some mimosas – because today is about citrus, guys. The parade usually brings about 3,000 participants and onlookers, so we recommend not being late.
