What time does the parade start this year?

No time has been officially posted as far as I can tell. In 2019 the parade was at 8:00PM and in 2021 the parade was at 8:30PM.

The posted showtimes for the regular shows change during Grand Carnivale, with RetroSpect moving its first time up to 6:15PM with the next showtime being 8:00PM. It's possible the parade will occur in that gap this season, perhaps at 7:00PM.

The parade will start at 7pm each day per entertainment department

Any word of a dress rehearsal of the parade during park hours tonight or Friday? If I remember correctly there was one on the Friday evening before Grand Carnivale in 2021.

No dress rehearsal this year. They have been practicing at night time from 11-1am.

The parade is at 7:00. Here is an article about the events of Carnivale. If includes plenty of information besides when the centerpiece of the event (and one of the most important pieces of information) starts. Clearly left off the press release. Good job.

What is up with the past tense?

Did the event already happen? Are these not available now?  Where is the spokesperson name in the presser?

That's a big IF....

So officially no soft opening parade tonight. [emoji53]

A preview would have been neat but it is understandable that they do what's best for the performers. Still very excited for tomorrow though!

Heading there a little later than I would've liked today, gonna try to stick around for the opening. How's the park at the moment? I figure its slam packed but still.

Getting busier, but not unbearable.
