If you are in Ft Lauderdale Dec 16 this is happening;

It should have limited impact on the hotels on 17th street. You CANNOT see much of the parade from 17th Street. Better options are downtown Fort Lauderdale, north side of the New River.

Just realized this last night when choosing dinner reservations. We are booked at The Riverside and flying in at 5:30. UGH! I’m wondering how bad the “nightmare traffic” will be or if I should just book a different hotel.  Thoughts?

The parade's official start time is 6:30. At that point, attention will be focused on the river, not roads.

 

I'd go from the airport to 595 to 95 north to broward boulevard east to SE 8th avenue and south to Las Olas at the time/date you're in town. Or stay elsewhere.
