Novant Health Thanksgiving Eve Parade 2024 | Charlotte

The Novant Health Thanksgiving Eve Parade returns to light up the night on Tryon Street once again this year.

This 78th Annual Charlotte Thanksgiving Eve Parade will step off on Tryon St. on Thanksgiving Eve, Wednesday, November 27th at 5:30 pm.

The Parade will feature local, regional, and national talent and performers, your favorite floats, larger-than-life balloons, marching bands, and dance units.

The Novant Health Thanksgiving Eve Parade is a free event open to the public. VIP tickets are available for purchase that will reserve a seat in a designated VIP area along the parade route.

A spectacle of sight and sound, this Thanksgiving Eve Parade is a Charlotte tradition with seven decades of history behind it, growing to its impressive reputation as the fourth largest of its kind in the country and the biggest in the Southeast. In 2023, the event drew 100,000 live spectators and 1 million household viewers via broadcast.

We are looking for volunteers to walk as costumed cast members in the parade, handle the larger-than-life balloons, or as parade marshals. To sign up as a volunteer, or for more information about the parade, visit our website at www.novanthealththanksgivingparade.com
