Thanksgiving Day Parade
Houston's 55th annual Thanksgiving Day Parade will take place Thursday morning (naturally):
Organizers expect nearly 400,000 spectators will line a 20-block route through downtown for the 55th annual Washington Mutual Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday morning.
The theme of the parade will be "Just Believe," said parade director Susan Moriarty.
"We've got some fantastic floats, lots of animation," she said.
The celebrity guest of the big downtown event is hometown singing star Jennifer Holliday, winner of two Grammys and a Tony. She had a Top 40 hit with And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going, and has appeared on Broadway, TV and in movies and has performed at the White House and at Carnegie Hall.
Looks like the weather will cooperate, too.
The Chronicle also provides the parade route:
The parade will head west on Texas to Fannin, turning south to Dallas. East on Dallas for four blocks turning north on La Branch proceeding east on Rusk and ending at Crawford.
KHOU-11 has more coverage.
