About this event
The Thanksgiving parade follows State Street north from Ida B. Wells Drive to Randolph Street. Public roadside viewing is free and open to all ages. Reserved VIP viewing is a separate paid option.
The official tourism article confirms November 26, 2026 but contains conflicting time windows: its heading and text say 7:45–10 AM, while its date FAQ says 8–11 AM. This listing therefore publishes the confirmed date without selecting an unsupported start time. Check the organizer’s latest program and road-closure advice before attending.
