Went to it once, it got way too spread out, they need a lot tighter choreography.

i went yesterday for almost 6 hours. it just seemed like normal cars and trucks. decorations were a bit weak. but driving faster than most recent parades. and two-way that must be new this year. no marching bands at all, unless they came after I left. no daisy the cow. and it seemed that it was never going to end.

The 123rd Thrifty Foods Victoria Day Parade will have a “That ’70s Parade” theme, with participants encouraged to consider the decade of disco when they prepare their entries.
Leading the procession at the 9 a.m. start on Monday will be Sidney town crier Kenny Podmore, but before he sets out, the Douglas Mile running race is back beginning at 8:45 a.m.
The run, which is being held in support of Parkinson Wellness Projects, will see athletes head from Douglas and Burnside to the finish line at Douglas and Pandora. The run was first held in conjunction with the parade in 2019, and again last year.
Also prior to the parade will be an 8:57 a.m. flypast featuring the 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron. The flypast will honour the memory of entertainer and magician Paul Kilshaw, who died in April.
Parade organizer Kelly Kurta of the Greater Victoria Festival Society said there are 85 entries, up from 65 in 2022.
“There’s a really good mix this year,” she said.

Damn. That means that the choppers will be out of commission for a week afterwards for maintenance and repairs!

^They hope it will be a flypast and not an autorotation into the crowd.
