The 127th Annual Santa Claus Parade is the longest running holiday parade in the country – steps off at 10:15am on Friday, November 28th (the day after Thanksgiving).
Since 1888, the nation's oldest Santa Claus parade featuring 88 units of costumed characters, novelty walking units, horse units, and decorated floats will surely get you in the holiday spirit and certainly delight the children along the route.
