The 6abc Dunkin’ Thanksgiving Day Parade, a beloved Philadelphia tradition and the nation’s longest-running event of its kind, will return to Center City for its 106th year on Thursday, November 27, according to Visit Philadelphia.
The annual Thanksgiving procession will once again showcase extravagant floats, charming balloons, musical performances, and a visit from Santa Claus and his wife to officially usher in the most wonderful time of the year.
The parade route will start at 20th Street and John F. Kennedy Boulevard, proceed eastbound on John F. Kennedy Boulevard toward 16th Street, head northbound on 16th Street to Benjamin Franklin Parkway, and continue westbound on Benjamin Franklin Parkway to the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse will also be celebrating.
