where does the parade start

The phrase “where does the parade start” is too vague on its own, because many different 2026 parades have different starting points.

To give you an actually correct answer, I’d need to know which parade and which city you’re asking about (for example: London New Year’s Day Parade, the National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade in Washington, DC, a Mardi Gras parade, a Disneyland parade, etc.). Each of those has its own official start location and route published by organizers.

Please reply with:

• The parade name (or event/festival name), and
• The city and year (if it’s not 2026),

and I can then tell you the specific starting point and summarize the route.
