Talk about a Thanksgiving Day Parade! This has to rank as the best one ever!
I’ve never heard of this event, but they have been doing it for the last few years and it’s been captured on YouTube and seen by millions. I am so used to cooking, setting the table, eating and watching football but this was amazing.
When I was a child I remember growing up and watching the huge New York parades on TV in the morning, but this looks so much more fun.
According to USAThanksgiving.com:
The weekend of festivities has become a beloved holiday occasion as well as an important link to our nation’s history and heritage. For 19 years, hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life have traveled to the historic Plymouth Harbor and Waterfront to experience a bounty of authentic Americana. The celebration of Thanksgiving becomes history-brought-to-life as Pilgrims, Native Americans, Soldiers, Patriots, and Pioneers proudly climb out of the history books and onto the streets of Plymouth.
Saturday features the highlight of the weekend and the treasured gem of America’s Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration, The Historic Parade. Opening Ceremonies include live entertainment and will open with a symbolic candle lighting that portrays the faith and fortitude of the Pilgrims. The parade features a chronological walk through the history of our great nation via custom built floats, equestrian groups, fife and drum and renowned drum corps.
