The Chicago Thanksgiving Parade steps off from Ida B Wells and State Street and continues North on State Street to Randolph. For 92 years Chicago has lined the parade route to enjoy giant helium balloons, dynamic marching bands, spectacular performance groups, equestrian units and floats! Performers travel from around the world and across Chicagoland to be seen on State Street in the heart of the Loop.
