As far as I know, both numbers aren't confirmed. We're hearing 2k to 20k at Trump's birthday party, and anywhere from 5m to 11m on protests. They're still trying to tally and I only saw a 2m temporary number. That said, with Boston having like 1m apparently, it'll probably be pretty big (they combined pride parade with it so it's a like unclear how you'd count that)
A more fun way to look at it is, the army parade had most of it's route at 1 row of viewers. That's... really really bad attendance. Lol
That's really sad. The small town of a few thousand I live in manages better attendance to it's annual parade made up of tractors and classic cars and fire trucks, and one year even included the snow plows!
If we can get a good thousand people (nearly a quarter of the town's population) to attend a Saturday parade on a budget of whoever actually shows up, the president of the United Fucking States should be capable of getting Macy's day parade sized spectacle at least
That was my thought, too. I attended a small town parade once in Solvang, CA, mostly by accident and even that had at least two rows of people. Granted, thunderstorms probably contributed but like you said, Macy's Day parade is often huge and that's sometimes bone chillingly cold so it's not a great excuse lol
