The Phil is honored to participate in America’s Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration. The weekend of festivities has become a beloved holiday occasion as well as an important link to our nation’s history and heritage.

If there was a Billboard Classical Music Chart in 1717, Water Music would have topped it. Handel composed the spirited piece for a showy trip up the Thames aboard the royal barge. King George loved it and had the musicians play it not once, not twice, but three times again. Not so for Pachelbel’s Canon & Gigue. It was a bit of a sleeper. Although composed in the 1600s, it wasn’t published or recorded until the 20th century. Since then, this pleasing piece has worked its way up the charts and into pop songs, films, advertising (and more than a wedding or two) to become one of the most widely performed Baroque compositions ever. Like Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos: six sumptuous instrumental works by the musical genius. No. 2 makes our top three. It’s a trumpet tour de force with heavenly combinations for flute, oboe, and violin, too. Out of this world—literally! In 1977, NASA sent the Voyager 1 space probe into deep space with a small Gold Record aboard. The opening music track is the first movement of this concerto, a joyful document of humanity. A timeless musical greeting, indeed.

Testimonials

  • "In my opinion, this is the best Thanksgiving Parade in the nation. Every year has a well planned theme, and everything lines up with it. Top quality floats and bands, and quality people running it make it a real pleasure to help out, and make me proud to be a part of! I have lost count of the number of years I have done so with my family. Then there are concerts, and events, and demonstrations, and a Food Festival that make it a complete weekend celebration. Well worth my trip in from Pennsylvania this year!"
    ~ David Jehle
  • "Drove all the way from Virginia with two small children to be apart of the BEST Thanksgiving Celebration. So glad that the quality and continuity of this parade has been maintained at such a high standard over the years so my children will hopefully have the same wonderful memories of it during their childhood as I did!"
    ~ Lindsay Dingess
  • "The TD parade is one of my favorite events. Not enough superlatives to describe how wonderful the marching bands, floats etc are in America's home town parade. I would recommend to anyone to visit & enjoy this parade. It is volunteer and contribution generated so please donate generously to keep it as spectacular as it was this year! Thank you to all participants!"
