Parade start time expected about 7:00pm.
If you are the kind of person that gets thirsty during parades you may want to bring some cash. We will have a cash bar available for Biga guests from 6:45-8:00pm.
After the parade starts we have another option…
After 7pm 3 Course Dinner During the Parade
(DOES NOT INCLUDE RIVERSIDE PARADE SEAT)
Biga is normally closed on Mondays but since the river parade is going on we decided to open our dining room for a 3-course fixed price dinner for guests looking for dinner and a little refuge from the parade hub-bub and for those that like the parade but don’t need to see every minute of it.
Tables in the dining room may not have a view of the parade but everyone will have access to our balcony at any time.
How it works…Seating starts at 7pm. Once you arrive at the restaurant you will be seated at your table in the main dining room. Most people use their table as a, kind of, home base. You will order your drinks, and food at the table and your dinner will be served at the table but at any time you and your guests may want to take your drinks onto our balcony and watch the parade. Your server will help you time things as you wish.
THIS PACKAGE DOES NOT INCLUDE SEATING ON THE PARADE ROUTE AND WE CANNOT GUARANTEE A TABLE WITH A VIEW.
