Not a big crowd person either... but...
My wife loves parades (the things we do for love!)

First parade we went to together was the Rose parade, NO NOT THAT ROSE PARADE! The one in Portland OR... she asked if I wanted to splurge and get the tickets inside the arena (parade starts by going through the arena then out onto the streets of Portland) turned out to be a good idea because it was sprinkling all day (in Portland, go figure)

Second was the Huntington Beach 4th of July parade, reserved seats in the brewery (again a good idea, beer, food, and a clean bathroom).

Third was the Westchester 4th of July parade, small parade, we just got there a half hour early and sat on the curb.

Dunno with all the high tech in our lives there is something refreshing about the decidedly low tech of going to a parade, sitting in a group of real people, and watching real people march in a parade and everyone having a great time.

YMMV

PS: I was in the marching band in High School so maybe I have a soft spot for parades.

PSS: Shouldn't we be more afraid of going to cars and coffee?
