The OP is right about what happens elsewhere with seat saving, and while I don't agree it should happen at the squares, I am struggling to figure out why I think it's okay to do this for, say, the Coast Guard Festival parade in Grand Haven, MI, the Irish Festival or Summer Celebration in Muskegon, MI, or the Fourth of July parade in Frankfort, MI, but not here in TV. I haven't come up with what my reasoning is.

Maybe it's because this is a winter tourist destination? Or because it happens nightly? I don't know.
