Some of the floats to look for include:
No. 2: American Honda’s ‘Follow Your Dreams’ is the lead float in the parade, reflecting this year’s theme, ‘Oh, The Places You’ll Go.’ The 100-foot-long vehicle consists of three islands that display features inspired by Dr. Seuss to illustrate a child’s imagination and dreams, and the fun to be had there.
