Thanksgiving Day parade in Philadelphia: Route, road closures - The Thanksgiving Parade in Philadelphia is the oldest in the country. This dates back to 1920, when the Gimbels department store took over production. This year, the parade celebrates its 99th anniversary with huge poses, brass bands and performances on Benjamin Franklin Boulevard. That's all you need to know if you want to check out the parade in person or in comfort in your living room this year.
What time is the parade?
The parade starts at 8:30 am and lasts until noon. It airs on 6abc and is hosted by Rick Williams and Cecily Tynan.
Where is the parade?
The parade begins at John F. Kennedy Boulevard and 20th Street and heads east to 16th Street, where it turns left towards Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The parade ends in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where the performances take place.
How can I see the parade?
The best place to explore is on the south side of Benjamin Franklin Boulevard. Try to get the art museum as close as possible to the best performances. You can bring a blanket (or a lot as it will be cold) or a deck chair to make yourself comfortable.
