A 'lookout post' is primarily of a military sort. I have never heard 'sightseeing stand', but if it is graduated in steps like bleachers, a 'grandstand' is often used for VIPs viewing a parade.

Along highways, small areas where you can stop and view a beautiful landscape are called "vista points". This term would not apply to parades or performances, however.
