Billed as 'America's largest balloon parade,' it will consist of 24 giant balloons, three floats, 18 specialty units and 12 marching bands, including the bands from the universities of Oregon and North Carolina, the participants in the Holiday Bowl.
Giant Balloon floats wait in line to march down Harbor Blvd during the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl Balloon Parade in San Diego on Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2009.
The parade will begin at 10 a.m. on the south side of the San Diego Convention Center on East Harbor Drive, then head past the San Diego Marriott Marquis, Manchester Grand Hyatt and Ruocco Park, ending at Pacific Highway. The route was changed due to a cruise ship docking Wednesday near the Broadway Pier, organizers said.
