There were 17 marching bands from across the nation, 18 balloons, floats, performances as well as fan favorites from music, stage and screen.



Rick and Cecily got into the musical acts, dancing in the broadcast booth with Justin Guarini.



And other members of the Action News team were on hand, riding along the parade route on the riverboat float.
