Santa, Cinderella and Buddy the Elf: Parade Day 2012 in Review

You most likely know this by now: there was a parade Sunday in downtown Rochester.

More than 100 floats, bands, businesses, town dignitaries and school groups marched and rode through Rochester Hills and Rochester during the 90-minute afternoon parade. 

Rochester Patch livestreamed the entire parade from the corner of University and Main; you can watch a replay of that livestream here.

Here's what else we want to share about the parade:

• The winners. Were your favorites also the favorites of parade judges? Check out the list here.
• The crowd. Thousands lined the streets of Rochester. Were you there? Check out our photo gallery of faces from the parade crowd.
• The floats and bands. We have hundreds of parade participants. .
