Each year, Fountain Hills hosts the only Thanksgiving Day Parade in Arizona where families can enjoy floats, animals, classic cars, performances and more.

For the last 38 years, Fountain Hills has been the site of an annual Thanksgiving Day Parade. This local hometown favorite draws spectators from across the state who want to ring in Thanksgiving Day with a classic parade.

Hosted by the Chamber of Commerce, the Thanksgiving Day Parade will begin at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 24. The Parade will be held along the Avenue of the Fountains, where a few dozen floats including local businesses, service organizations, classic car clubs, troops, school groups and dance routines are sure to entertain.

As a special treat, Santa Claus himself arrives in Fountain Hills for the first time this holiday season. Santa is the event's finale, so attendees are encouraged to stick around until the end to give Santa a wave.
