America's Hometown Thanksgiving Parade

Held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, America’s only historically accurate parade begins at Plymouth Rock at 10am, continuing around Water Street to Main Street to Court Street, and ending at Benny’s Plaza at 179 Court Street. Opening ceremonies at 9am at the Pilgrim Memorial Park (Plymouth Rock) 79 Water St.

Celebrate Plymouth’s grand history as we gather to recognize those who came before us and their impact on our everyday lives. Join us as we cheer on our local heroes, leaders, organizations, schools, bands, and many more!

Don’t forget to bring your canned goods to the parade and when The Hometown Express rides past, you can help us to fill it up! We will be donating to our food banks to help feed families in need for Thanksgiving! For more information on this weekend of events Check Here.
