The Parade Scene - "Drop Dead Gorgeous" Filming Location - Waconia, MN


The parade scene in the film "Drop Dead Gorgeous" used two different streets in the small town of Waconia, Minnesota. Above is a still from the film. Below is a photo taken in September of 2014. In my photo, you can see the Waconia Trading Company in the background. The address is 24 West 1st Street.

Down the street from the Waconia Trading Company is St. Joseph Catholic Church, which is located on the corner of East 1st Street and South Pine Street. The above still from the film was taken on South Pine Street, with St. Joseph's as the backdrop. Below is the same spot in 2014.

In the above still, Mr. Leeman points to the giant swan float on South Pine Street. Below is the same location in 2014.

Again on South Pine Street, the girls get ready for the parade to begin in the above still; below in 2014.
