Thanksgiving Parade of Silver Spring

This year, Thanksgiving will be celebrated on Thursday, November 26, 2009. It is a great time for families to come together and observe the traditional values of a very special occasion. Somehow, the picture of a family sitting around the dining table with a succulent steaming turkey has become such an endearing image that Thanksgiving is forever linked to this most favorite fowl. However, Thanksgiving holds another special meaning for the folks in Silver Spring, Maryland.

To the people around the area, the Silver Spring Thanksgiving Parade is a highly anticipated event. This year, it will be held on Saturday, November 21, 2009 from 9.30 a.m. to 12 noon. There will be the colorful floats, gigantic balloons, accomplished bands, fire engines, dancing and marching groups, plus all sorts of festivities. Some of the more interesting participants in the 2009 Silver Spring Thanksgiving Parade include America’s Miss Teen 2009, Boumi Shrine Motorcycle Drill Team, Downtown Silver Spring Float and Logo Balloon, Falun Dafa Association, Mustang Club of MD, Tigers Marching Band, and Western Pleasure Riders, just to name a few.

Consistent with all other editions, the Silver Spring Thanksgiving Parade begins on Georgia Avenue at Sligo Avenue. It goes up to Silver Spring Avenue and turns into Ellsworth Drive, ending at the Fenton Street intersection, nearby Veterans Field. Participants will start to line up at 8.00 a.m. so seasoned locals will be there about 8.30 a.m. to catch the preparations and take in the air of anticipation. While parking is free in downtown public garages, it’s somewhat more convenient to use the Metro, alighting at the Silver Spring station.
