America's Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration
- see all dates
For over 25 years, hundreds of thousands of people have traveled to the historic Plymouth Harbor and Waterfront to experience a celebration of Thanksgiving history with pilgrims, Native Americans, soldiers, and pioneers climbing out of the history books and onto the streets of Plymouth.
This weekend of festivities includes a parade starting at 10:00am, plus a family festival, concerts, food, and more.
One of America’s only historically accurate chronological parades, it visually brings to life America’s rich heritage representing each century from the 17th through the 21st. The parade is ranked the #1 Thanksgiving parade in the nation and features beautifully decorated floats representing historic events, honoring national anniversaries, and celebrating every period of American history.
