Just a quick calculation. The parade route is 3.1 km long. If you assume people were standing/sitting shoulder-to-shoulder and that the average person needs about 2/3 of a metre space, then a single line would amount to 3100*3/2=4650 persons. Multiply that by 20 to account for 10 rows of onlookers on either side of the street, and you get about 93,000 lining the parade route. Of course, there were places where the crowd was more than ten rows deep, and also many tens of thousands at Sunset Beach, etc.

In the end, though, no way was there even close to 600,000 people there.
