Named as the largest night parade in the Southeast year after year, the Grand Parade is a two-hour extravaganza featuring national participants & local marching bands, floats, local government and law enforcement officials, clowns and much, much more. The parade brings the entire Southwest Florida community out in celebration of the life and achievements of our local winter resident, Thomas Edison. The parade begins at 7 p.m. and runs along Cleveland Avenue /US-41 from Fort Myers High Edison Stadium to the Downtown Fort Myers River District. Call or visit website for more information.
