I've always loved watching the Thanksgiving parade. Most of the time I am in my PJs sipping some hot coffee and snuggling on the couch. This year though, I just might make it out to see the famous Charlotte Thanksgiving parade. Why? Because I will be wide awake for it!

After 75 years, things are changing for the Novant Health Thanksgiving Parade. It will now be held at night on Wednesday, November 24th, 2021. The parade will take place starting on Tryon Street and continue from 9th Street to Stonewall Street. The parade will start at 6 pm and you can expect to see tons of floats, lights and holiday fun. It is 100% free to watch and enjoy.
