New York isn’t the only city that puts on a massive Thanksgiving Parade. In it’s 86th year, the Chicago Thanksgiving parade stepped off State Street at Ida B. Wells Thursday morning and traveled north to Randolph.
For many lined along State Street, getting front row at the parade has become a Thanksgiving tradition.
“We have our thanksgiving feast that we do every year for 15 years,” said Denise Myers from Tinley Park. “We have a warming tray, we have hashbrown casserole, morning glory french toast, coffee and cranberry juice.”
For Heidi Stenberg of Barrington Hills, its her and her family’s first time to the parade.
“We have made Thanksgiving for the last 18 years at home and we decided we wanted to see the parade in person this time,” said Stenberg, who’s thanking Mother Nature for cooperating this year. “It’s beautiful. It’s not cold, it’s not rainy or snowy, it’s actually fantastic.”
