It depends on lots of factors, mostly the weather and turn out. I would think if you are there by noon, you should be able to get a good curb side seat along the route. Crowds are most likely to be deepest near the main viewing stand. At the Cherry Blossom Parade, I arrived just as it was starting and about a third of the way throught, the group of people in front of me left imediately after their kids passed. So I had a front row seat. So you might get lucky even arriving later. Tough question Jon. It depends on lots of factors, mostly the weather and turn out.
