Last year, the parade took place without crowds lining the streets due to the COVID pandemic, but is back this year before a crowd expected to be in the hundreds of thousands, plus a national television audience viewing it at home, with over 185 TV stations joining in the live broadcast. The Detroit parade was not held in 1943 or 1944 due to World War II, but with the war over, resumed in 1945. The parade is locked in a tie for second-oldest in the US with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York. The bands will be high-stepping and playing holiday songs in what is billed as “America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade”, which is a registered trademark. The Brighton High School Marching Band, which has a reputation of being possibly the best high school marching band in Michigan, will be performing in the annual Detroit Thanksgiving Day Parade along with several other high school bands from the Metro Detroit area.
