H-E-B Thanksgiving Day Parade

About this happenin

At 9 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning, the H-E-B Thanksgiving Day Parade sets off through downtown Houston. The city's Mayor's Office of Special Events puts it on, and the city calls it one of the oldest Thanksgiving Day parades in the nation. Floats and marching bands make up the line, with balloons overhead, on a route of more than 20 city blocks. The city names a grand marshal and a roster of featured performers for each year's parade. Reserved seats along the route are sold as tickets. Hundreds of thousands of Houstonians turn out for it.
