The other change that's coming is that for celebrations like St. Patrick's Day, Columbus (Italian Fest.) Day, October Fest., etc., The Villages will no longer have two simultaneous parades (one at each square). Instead they plan on having one huge parade at alternating locations, first LSL, then the next holiday at SpSp. Whereas now residents arrive about 2:45 for the 4:45 parade, they will start getting to the squares about 12:45 because the staging area will be much larger than before and the parking and seating will be at a minimum. Plus there's likely to be more vendors crammed into one square too.
Sounds like a good idea, right?
