It's usually quite cold, which has a bit of an impact on the crowd.
It's a short parade, basically around the block. It can be basically you by yourself watching or you in the midst of 4 deep or even more--just depends where you sit and how warm it gets.
I think there are usually some in Rockville, often inside a Mall or something which is a bit warmer.
(FWIW the Chinatown parade is generally pro-Taiwan, and the one in Rockville is more politically neutral). Most of the Chinese embassy staff will not go to Chinatown for the celebrations.
