Would someone please be able to give me an indication of what time to get into town on Friday to see the parades given the problems with parking etc.!

We have seen the parades locally many times but thought it would be interesting to see them in town for once.

The parade starts at 12.30...If the weather is as good as it is today you could be at Corfu town around 09.30-10.00, play it safe and find an easy parking place in Garitsa bay since some of the roads around Liston area will be closed for traffic.

Thank you for that. Fingers crossed that the weather will stay fine.

Do you also know where the best place would be to take photographs of the parade? Would it be somewhere between the bandstand and the cricket pitch?

You were spot-on with the timings TopCars. We had a great day and the weather was fantastic.

Hello Trisa,
Do you have any photos you could post of the parade. It would be nice to see. Thanks in anticipation.

I watched it on Corfiot TV and it seemed to be shorter than usual? I don't like enormous crowds very much so although I am only ten minutes from Liston I stayed at home and did a lot of gardening.   As I dug away, I could hear the Filarmoniki playing their hearts out in Kinopiastes so I had the best of both worlds. Beautiful day today and quite warm - Spring is definitely on the way.

We went to watch the Kassiopi parade as usual, and yes Lavinia we also thought that it was much shorter than the last few years we have watched ... any one throw any light as to why?...it was enjoyable though watching the children march and the parents taking photos and then the coffee and chat afterwards.

There wasn't one at all this year in Ipsos. Apparently it's to do with the local councils disappearing leaving only one council in town who didn't organise the parades in the other areas.

The actual parade in town probably lasted for about an hour. Just enough time for us to have an ouzo meze lunch and back home to the awaiting hounds!

There is something stirring about the sound of the bands and the sun glinting off all that brass.

It's also gratifying to see so many youngsters in the bands. The tradition will certainly continue.

Trisa.
