The 6abc Dunkin’ Thanksgiving Day Parade
The oldest Thanksgiving Day parade in the nation will kick off the holiday season as it marches through Center City and up the Ben Franklin Parkway to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This year there are more ways than ever to watch the excitement and fun: come in person and experience the tradition firsthand; watch on 6abc and everywhere you stream beginning with a pre-parade special at 8:30am and the kickoff at 9; and if you aren’t in Philadelphia you can watch on Hulu, ABCNewsLive and Disney+.
Colorful floats, grand balloons, marching bands, singing, dancing and the biggest moment of all: the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus.
There is no better way to start the holiday season than with the parade that started them all – The 6abc Dunkin’ Thanksgiving Day Parade!
