PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania—On Nov. 21, the Sunday just before Thanksgiving, the Mayfair-Holmesburg area of Philadelphia Thanksgiving celebrations had already begun with the neighborhood’s 44th annual Thanksgiving Day Parade, with more than 100 community organizations participating. During the parade, people from all backgrounds shared their gratitude for God.
Last year’s parade was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but this holiday season, the city is coming back to life. The parade was led by a motorcycle fleet, followed by local string bands, school marching bands, dance schools, community organizations, businesses of all kinds, and finished off by a fire truck carrying Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus together to celebrate Thanksgiving with the neighborhood.
