Why You’ll Love It
What started in 1934 to boost the spirits of Chicagoans during the Great Depression has since become a beloved Thanksgiving tradition. The Chicago Thanksgiving Parade kicks off at 8 am on State Street, weaving through the city and wrapping up around 11 am at State and Randolph. Standing with your family and a warm puffer or cozied up watching on your couch, this parade brings all the festive energy you need to kick off the holiday season. Rated the #2 Thanksgiving parade in the U.S., it's a must-see celebration full of giant balloons, marching bands, and plenty of holiday cheer!
