The hype is so real, vehicles have stopped on the Gardiner Expressway so drivers can get out and take photos of the parade as it passes by.
From photos shared on social media, you can see that vehicles have pulled over and parked in the Eastbound lane on the Gardiner, and fans can be seen leaning over the railing to watch the excitement along the Lakeshore below.

Unless you want to be in REM’s Everybody Hurts video, AVOID the Gardiner Expressway. 2 lanes of traffic have pulled over to watch the parade. 🤦🏻♀️ pic.twitter.com/0ntHcG4Nki
