When  it comes to parades, New York may own Thanksgiving, but no one beats Hollywood for Christmas. The annual Hollywood Christmas Parade airs around the country throughout December, but the event takes place on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend.

The Parade features something for everyone: floats, celebrities, bands, and giant balloons.  And how could it be Christmas without an appearance by Santa Claus?

The 2019 Grand Marshall is Mario Lopez.

The Parade starts on Hollywood Blvd at Orange then wraps around from Vine to Sunset.

Reserved Grandstand seating is available, starting at $45. Curbside viewing is free along the entire parade route.

A pre-parade concert is available to grandsticket-holders only.

The concert begins at 5pm.  The parade starts at 6pm.
