Info Meeting for Thanksgiving Day Parade: Holiday Movie Magic

Thank you for your interest in the Holiday Movie Magic- Thanksgiving Day Parade!!!

All participants are required to attend one of the informational meetings prior to the parade.    Details for set up, contest, parade assignments and more will all be discussed.    

​If you have not yet signed up - come learn more about the parade - you can also register at this meeting if you haven't already. 

The Thanksgiving Day Parade has become a local hometown favorite that draws spectators from across the state who want to ring in Thanksgiving Day with a classic parade. The event starts right at 9:30 am and lasts approximately one hour. Tons of local businesses participate, as well as Veteran groups, classic car clubs, service organizations, and many more. With floats, marching bands, animal groups, dance routines, motorcycle shows, and more, this is the place to be Thanksgiving morning!

Don't forget - Santa Claus himself arrives in Fountain Hills for the first time this holiday season at the Thanksgiving Day Parade! He is the event's finale, so make sure to stick around at the end to give Santa a wave!

2022 Theme: "Holiday Movie Magic" - decorate your float, entry, or costumes to share your favorite holiday movie!
