Turkey Day kicked off on State Street at the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade, November 26, 2015.
Before we can dig into a Thanksgiving dinner (including some Thanksgiving pie), tradition dictates that a parade must take place in the Loop. Led by Grand Marshal David Arquette, the annual Chicago Thanksgiving Parade made its way up State Street on Thursday with giant character balloons, marching bands and even the Harlem Globetrotters. Get in the Turkey Day spirit with photos from the downtown procession.
