No, it probably isn’t cool to crash the Boise Holiday Parade, butt in and march down the middle of the street to work off your Thanksgiving calories. (You ever irritate a clown?) But you can park several blocks away, then run Downtown to sit (or jog in place) and watch the participants of the annual celebration. This year’s route begins at 10th and Jefferson streets, heads east on Jefferson to 4th, then south to Bannock, and, finally, west to 11th.
