The nation’s oldest Thanksgiving Day parade—originally founded in 1920—brings larger-than-life floats, spectacular marching bands, dazzling dancers, A-listers and, of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. This year’s eclectic mix of performers and celebs includes everyone from The Spinners and C+C Music Factory to Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, Philadanco, Carson Kressley, Blue Man Group and more. The parade begins at 20th Street and John F. Kennedy Boulevard, and ends at the Philadelphia Museum of Art on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
