“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!”
An integral part of America's Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration is our Concert Series!
Welcome the world-famous U.S. Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps to America's Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration! Dressed in their iconic Revolutionary War-era wool uniforms, black tricorn hats, and red regimental coats, these incredible soldier-musicians will be bringing history to life right before our eyes as they march in our parade.
The excitement doesn’t stop when the parade ends! You can experience their phenomenal musicianship up close and personal when they take the stage for a spectacular live performance during our Saturday night concert series.

Celebrate the sounds that have defined generations of American Music. Our very LIVE orchestra is ready to raise the roof with a program that’s all about rhythm, movement, and musical joy.
Our pops playlist salutes the music that pulled Americans out of their chairs and onto the dance floor to Two-Step, Turkey Trot, and swing to the Charleston, Jitterbug and Carolina Shag. That’s right. Scott Joplin and Glenn Miller, the Kings of Ragtime and Swing, will be in the house, setting America’s fun-loving mood to music with big bold brass, smooth winds, sensational strings, and a rhythm section that can’t be beat.
We’ll also perform medleys from Broadway’s best like The Music Man, Wicked and Hamilton. RSVP today! We may not have 76 trombones, but this will be an absolutely unforgettable American musical parade!

What People Are Saying
“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!”
“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!”
You can become a part of this spectacular event as a sponsor, participant or volunteer.
