Organizers call it the largest night parade in the Southeast, and they very well might be right.
The Edison Festival of Light Grand Parade takes about two hours for the parade to pass by one spot and attracts participants from across the country. There are lighted floats, marching bands, clowns, first-responder vehicles and more. It’s so popular, many people stake out their spot along the route days in advance, marking their area with duct tape on the sidewalk. There are also two ticketed areas where you can reserve your seat for the big show.
The parade starts at 7 p.m. from Fort Myers High School, goes north on U.S. 41, east on Main Street and through downtown Fort Myers. The exact route is available on festival's website.
