Dragon Con technically starts on Thursday, but the big stuff happens on Saturday. The biggest event on Saturday is the morning parade. For many this is considered the true kick-off for the weekend.
Hundreds of convention attendees queue up to participate in the parade and thousands of people line Peachtree St. to watch it. If you want to watch the parade in its entirety, with commentary from your hosts, you can watch it on DragonCon TV.
