This world-class event produced by The Parade Company is on November 28 and is recognized as one of America’s best holiday parades. It awes generations of parade-goers who live on Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit with amazing floats, larger-than-life balloons towering over the skyline, celebrities, famous clowns and Big Heads, marching bands and so much more.
