76th Annual Novant Health Thanksgiving Eve-Parade
The 2022 Thanksgiving Eve Parade is Wednesday evening, November 23rd. The parade kicks off at 5:30 pm and will air live on WBTV starting at 6:00 pm. The Parade is always free, but if spectators want a VIP experience with a curbside chair they can reserve by registering on the Novant Health website, here. That special price is $35 for your reserved curbside seat. This year you can also become a member of the team or a Parade cast member. Spectators are encouraged to find their favorite viewing spot on Tryon Street between 9th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Charlotte Center City Partners 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 visit our website at www.novanthealththanksgivingparade.com.
The Novant Health Thanksgiving Parade is a huge Charlotte tradition that started in 1947. The Parade takes place each year in Uptown Charlotte as the official kick-off to the holiday season. In 2012, it was named by U.S. News & World Report as one of America’s Best Thanksgiving Parades. You should also learn more about Charlotte Center City Partners.
