The Grand Floral Parade lasts two hours and has over 100 units, including floats with community queens and their courts, bands, clowns, costumed characters, antique cars and special units. 250,000 spectators come from the midwest to enjoy this colorful parade which travels from St. Joseph across the river into Benton Harbor.
