Thanksgiving Day Parade

The Annual Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade is one of the city's most beloved holiday traditions, and the longest-running Thanksgiving Day Parade in America.

This year's parade will feature appearances by Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus; marching bands from across the nation, balloons, floats, performances, and fan favorites from music, stage, and screen.

The parade is free to attend and open to the public. Viewers can gather on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Eakins Oval, Logan Circle, and along the parade route on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. 

The 6ABC/Dunkin’ Donuts Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade is broadcast live on 6ABC in the Greater Philadelphia region and streamed live on 6abc.com.  

The parade begins from 19th St. & John F. Kennedy Blvd., proceeds east on JFK Blvd. to 16th St., turns left on 16th St. to the Benjamin Franklin Pkwy., continues northwest along the Benjamin Franklin Pkwy., and ends in front of the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
