America’s Thanksgiving Parade presented by Gardner White, has been marching through downtown Detroit for almost 100 years—starting all the way back in 1924! If you’ve ever braved the crowds or tuned in from your couch, you’ve definitely seen the iconic Big Heads bobbing along.
Now’s your chance to get the inside scoop: an expert from The Parade Company is stopping by to share the history behind these larger-than-life characters that have been part of the parade since day one. And yes—there’ll be a real Big Head here for you to meet up close and personal!
