About this event
The longest-running Thanksgiving Day parade in the country, the 6abc Dunkin' Thanksgiving Day Parade soars over Center City for its 107th year. A beloved Philadelphia tradition, the annual procession of extravagant floats, charming balloons and musical performances delights parade-goers up and down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, all leading up to the arrival of a very special guest of honor. Santa Claus - alongside the missus - closes out the festivities atop a magical float of his own, signaling the official start of the most wonderful time of the year. The parade kicks off on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. with a 30-minute pre-show hosted by familiar faces from 6abc, followed by three hours for the parade and performances. - Photo courtesy Philadelphia's 6abc Dunkin' Thanksgiving Day Parade
