2018 De Soto Grand Parade
With over 150 entries, the De Soto Grand Parade is the largest parade in Southwest Florida. Over 200,000 people lined the streets of Manatee to view the illuminated parade entries and catch a glimpse of our newly crowned Queen and Princess. Beads, coins and other fun items are tossed to the crowd throughout the night.
The Parade steps off at 6:30pm from Manatee High School, so get there early to get the best possible view.
