Learn About America’s Pilgrim History In The
MA Home Of The Mayflower
Thanksgiving is about cherishing and celebrating what we are thankful for,
and one thing we can always be thankful for is being part of the proudest
nation on earth, the United States of America.
If you would like to share in the great joy and gratitude of our country
this Thanksgiving, the iconic parade will be part of a three-day
national event and will make its way through Plymouth's historic
downtown and waterfront.
Following its cancellation last year due to Covid-19, the
parade organizers and sponsors are excited to officially
announce its 2021 return.
The home of The Mayflower II, a full-
scale replica of the ship that first carried
pilgrims to America’s shores, Plymouth
is fondly known as America’s
Hometown.
Tracing the legacy of the pilgrims of the past,
Thanksgiving has become one of the most
formative events on many Americans’ calendars.
Today it is an opportunity for you to express and
share gratitude for the many gifts we citizens of
the US enjoy.
Since the parade’s inception over 25 years ago, it has become a
fixture on the national Thanksgiving calendar.
In honor of the 400th anniversary of Thanksgiving,
this year’s parade will be bigger than ever and will
feature many floats that you are sure to love. These
beautiful floats will capture the town’s pilgrim legacy
as well as every key period of US history.
Featuring local musical acts and high school
marching bands, the parade will offer you a
chance to become part of the tight-knit yet
welcoming Plymouth community.
This year, the festival organizers are also happy to affirm their proud
commitment to American servicemen and veterans with the addition of
military bands and bugle corps.
The parade will be held on Saturday,
November 20th, with the festivities
beginning at 10am. If you cannot make it in
person, WCVB Channel 5 will air exclusive
live coverage of the event.
Other popular events you can enjoy
across the Thanksgiving weekend
include concerts, historic village tours
and family-friendly waterfront activities.
