100 days until Thanksgiving: Celebrating 100 years of America’s Thanksgiving Parade

As Thanksgiving approaches, the countdown is officially on for the 100th America’s Thanksgiving Parade presented by Gardner White. Thanksgiving is 100 days away, and Local 4 is celebrating the milestone by sharing 100 memories from the parade’s long history. Each day leading up to Thanksgiving, a new memory will highlight moments, traditions, and memories that have helped make the parade a beloved part of the holiday season. Today marks the first memory in the countdown to the 100th parade. The centennial celebration will culminate on Thanksgiving morning, when the parade returns to Detroit's streets for its 100th year.
