40th Annual Fountain Hills Thanksgiving Day Parade

Celebrate 40 Years of Thanksgiving Tradition in Fountain Hills!

Mark your calendars for a Thanksgiving Day celebration like no other! This November 28th, join us in Fountain Hills for the 40th Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade, a cherished tradition that has captured the hearts of Arizonans for four decades. From 9:30 am to 11 am, the streets will come alive with the vibrant sights and sounds of a classic parade that draws spectators from across the state.

This year’s theme, "Best of 1984," takes us back to where it all began. Expect to be dazzled by floats, marching bands, dance routines, classic car clubs, and more—all decked out in a nostalgic tribute to the year of our very first parade. And don’t miss the grand finale, where Santa Claus himself will make his first-holiday appearance in Fountain Hills!

But the fun doesn’t stop there. The parade is a true community event, with local businesses, veteran groups, and service organizations coming together to create an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning guest, this is the perfect way to kick off your Thanksgiving Day with family and friends.
