Getting to the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade
Dating back to the Great Depression, the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade has been part of the city’s holiday celebrations since 1934. Although the parade is a must-see event, navigating the city during such a busy day isn’t always easy. Here’s how to make it to the parade safely and comfortably.
What Is the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade?
Because transportation to the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade can be stressful, it’s totally worth it. On the big day, classic performers like the Harlem Globetrotters and Jesse White Tumblers will share the street with cultural performances by Ecuadorian, Polish, and Mongolian groups and others in the community. There will also be live performances of Peter Pan and ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas with displays for the entire family. The parade will also include eighteen national high school marching bands, 14 float units, and 11 equestrian units.
Best Place to See the Parade
State & Washington is known as one of the best vantage points to watch the historic parade roll by, but other popular areas are State & Adams or State & Van Buren adjacent to the Harold Washington Library. However, because these places offer the best views, it often means waking up at the crack of dawn to get a good spot. That’s why booking transportation from the suburbs or any other part of the city in advance can make all the difference.
Getting to the Parade
Although some opt for public transport to get to the parade, the best way to ensure that you and your family have reliable transportation for the big day is by reserving a car service well in advance. Although taxi services are typically reliable, it may be hard to get a taxi on such a busy day for the city. Booking a car or limousine before the big day means knowing with certainty that one’s family will make it to the parade on time.
