. The Americas Thanksgiving Parade, , will celebrate it’s 100th anniversary this week, launching a beloved holiday tradition of families bundling up in the cold in downtown Detroit to watch colorful themed floats, clowns, and marching bands pass by on Woodward Avenue. Did you know that although the first parade was in 1924, there have been only 98 actual parades? Due to the shortages of materials during World War II, the parade was suspended in 1942 and 1944. We will be looking forward to the actual 100th celebration, but in the meantime, we’ll always be grateful for the hardworking team at The Detroit Parade Company. We can’t imagine Thanksgiving without you!
