The parade route starts and ends at Jokake and Calle Tuberia. It heads west on Calle Tuberia to 58th Street, then south on 58th street (short block) to Calle Del Paisano, east on Calle Del Paisano, short jog to Calle Rosa, continue east to 62nd street, go north to Calle Tuberia (short blocks) then west on Calle Tuberia back to the parade start. It is about a mile for the
route. Most of the neighbors know we have a parade that day, and park their cars in the driveways and carport and garages off the street. Most parade participants walk or ride their bikes to the start, so there is not a lot of cars and parking except for the volunteers and sponsors.

You should have no problem parking on the streets close by, but we would appreciate no parking on the parade route. You will have the best luck for shade on Calle Tuberia, and go to the parade end. The congestion at Jokake and Calle Tuberia is unbelievable. As a parade watcher, you can probably
bring your lawn chairs and sit right on the street.
