I would be astonished if there wasn't jamming. But you're right, they aren't jamming everything, just specific frequencies likely

anecdotally, both wifi and 2.4GHz RC controllers have been blocked at a small time local parade event in my region.

I mean shit, a drone doesn't need any remote control, if it can just get GPS that might be enough, and i doubt they're jamming or spoofing gps. Though they could.

Wifi blocked during a parade? So no streaming? No ability to use chat apps etc while there?

Kind of interesting. I've never experienced wifi blocking at all, anywhere, including during parades and when I attended the London Olympics. I'm pretty sure I've experience cell towers being shut down temporarily a few times though, mainly during protests that got kettled.

Someone would need the exact location of the podeum that a target would be standing on and an explosive large enough for any margin of error for this to work. I don't think it's realistic. I do think this was used to disrupt a british airport once though.

I mean who's on wifi at a parade? I guess a couple people might be connected to nearby businesses' wifi, but most people on their phones will be on 4G and unaffected.

And yeah cell disruption either by jamming or stingray is seemingly common at protests.

Oh and the drone gun I linked below in the thread does targeted GPS/GNSS jamming too. But that needs to be spotted and aimed
