Wells Drive and continuing north to Randolph Street, this legendary downtown procession is one of the nation's premier holiday spectacles.
Attendees will experience giant helium character balloons, spectacular marching bands, equestrian units, festive floats, vibrant cultural performance troupes, and a special appearance by Santa Claus. Broadcast live across the nation and free for spectators along the State Street parade route.
