America's Thanksgiving Parade is a parade held annually on Thanksgiving in Detroit, Michigan, United States. Started in 1924 by the J. L. Hudson Company, it shares the title for the second-oldest Thanksgiving parade in the United States with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, and is four years younger than the 6abc Dunkin' Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philadelphia.
