Hundreds camp out days before Pioneer Day Parade to secure ideal spots

Salt Lake City, Utah — Parade squatters woke up Friday after spending the night reserving their spots to watch the Pioneer Day parade.

The parade starts at 9:00 am at South Temple and State Street and will end at 900 South and 600 East.

Last year the event was canceled due to the pandemic. Many Utahns are extremely excited about the return of festivities.

Some people spent two nights reserving their front-row seats.
