Thanksgiving parade
November street spectacle
A Thanksgiving parade is a public procession held on or around the American holiday, featuring marching bands, floats, and giant character balloons.
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City is the most famous, broadcast nationally since 1952.
Local cities often hold their own versions: We watch the Thanksgiving parade every year before dinner.
