The specifics of the yearly 6abc Dunkin Thanksgiving Day Parade, the oldest of its kind, have been revealed by the City of Philadelphia. The procession, which will culminate at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, is planned for next Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to noon along the Ben Franklin Parkway. According to the city’s release, the public event will include family-friendly performances and activities. Live coverage will start on 6abc at 8:30 a.m.
Style guru Carson Kressley, Lisa Ann Walter from ABC’s Abbott Elementary, and Sam Champion, the weather correspondent for Good Morning America, are among the celebrities confirmed to make special appearances. High school bands and dance groups will perform, and the Dunkin’ Zone at Eakins Oval will provide entertainment for all ages. According to the city’s announcement, the parade is expected to attract large audiences, featuring a procession of spectacular floats to commemorate the Christmas season and a demonstration of community pride.
As the city gets ready for the parade, traffic closures will start this Monday and affect the regions surrounding Eakins Oval, John F. Kennedy Boulevard, and Ben Franklin Parkway for travelers traveling through Philadelphia the following week. Additionally, additional closures and parking restrictions will be implemented during the event’s setup and rehearsals, so travelers are encouraged to review their plans and account for delays and detours.
Regarding public transportation, SEPTA will run on a Sunday schedule, and there will be detours on a number of bus lines. For the most recent transit information, travelers are encouraged to visit the System Status page or follow updates on X (previously Twitter). Furthermore, parking zones will not be permitted, and by next Wednesday, temporary signage should be in place.
march participants are reminded that, as a safety measure, it is completely forbidden to use weapons, explosives, alcohol, illegal drugs, gas barbecues, or drones along the march path. These steps are intended to keep the area safe and guarantee that everyone has a good time.
