Parking:
- For Parade Participants
  There is no parking available at the staging grounds. The school parking areas there are used solely for lining up the marching units and inflating the balloons and, thus, are closed to all vehicles. There are no exceptions. Convenient parking is available at the Glen Cove Parking Garages on Brewster Street, from where a free shuttle bus is available to the staging area. Participants who wish to park at the end of the parade may follow the parade route and carpool to St. Patrick's Church parking lot, where parking is available in the areas not reserved for balloon deflation.
- For Spectators
  There are large multilevel parking garages behind the School Street and Glen Street viewing areas of the parade. The garages on the north of School Street may be entered from Brewster Street and the garages on the south side can be entered from Glen Street or from Highland Road. Both parking areas give easy access to the School Street and Glen Street viewing areas. All parking is free.
