The Paint the Night parade runs for about 15–20 minutes from the moment the first float reaches you until the last one passes.

Across its different runs at Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland, the full parade is typically described as “approximately 17 minutes” in length, which matches full-show recordings that clock in around 19–23 minutes including the intro and outro. In practice, if you’re watching from one spot along the route, you’ll see about 15 minutes of continuous floats and characters once the parade reaches you.
