Well depends what your parents are like. Personally I'm fond of the classic "Bombshell during family dinner" one. Please be aware of the knives on the table though.
Do it when it feels right.

Then you should wait till then. It'll give you time to think and be prepared for anything they might say or do.

i think you should wait and think this through. Maybe start posing some questions about sexuality to your parents to get a general idea of their opinions. That way, you'll be a little more prepared for their reaction when you tell them

Your sexuality is your problem, so it shouldnt be that important an issue, of course it depends greatly on how your folks are as to how you should break it to them, I've dated 3 women who were Bi, funny enough all 3 of them had never mentioned it to their families, oddly enough it was not a matter of shame over their choices, but rather that they had no open communication with their families, especially about sexuality issues, first rememebr that you must be proud of who you are, and derive the courage from there, and make sure your parents notice that confidence, otherwise they can think its just a phase or something, so make sure you are confident enough so as they know its not something you havent thought enough about.
A good approach might be talking with them separately, firs with the most supportive one and then with the least supportive one, that way, the most supportive one can help you on the situation telling the other one.
In all cases, this require a lot of courage, you should be proud of yourself.

First off you should be really sure that you are bi/gay before you tell them. Sometimes it can have very serious consequences, so just make sure you really are and not just experimental/curious.
It takes a lot of guts to just drop a bombshell on them and can make the moment really awkward depending on who is around. You don't want then to disown you for coming out at grandmas funeral you know?
I would ease them into it, find out how they feel about gay/bi people first and then gradually hint at the fact that you are Bisexual.
Trust me it could be a whole lot worse, like me, I didn't really have to come out, because my mom decided to walk in on me and my friend. Thankfully though she was laid back enough to not freak out.

Well they're your parents so they should be able to except you for who you are.
