Allen Tate Companies is proud to be a presenting sponsor of the 2024 Novant Health Thanksgiving Eve Parade on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
Now in its 78th year, the parade is a tradition for many Carolinas’ families to officially launch the holiday season. The parade will step-off at 5:45 pm, with the parade route running along Tryon Street from 9th Street to Good Samaritan Way in Uptown Charlotte. The event will air live on WBTV at 6 p.m. Festivities will conclude approximately 8 pm.
The parade will feature local, regional, and national talent, including marching bands, exciting floats, massive balloons, and performers from across the region and nation. A new addition to the parade this year is “cARTs,” a showcase of Charlotte’s artistic imagination in which local creatives will turn vehicles into rolling, illuminated masterpieces.
In 2023, the parade drew more than 100,000 live spectators and 1 million household viewers via broadcast.
“Allen Tate is honored to continue its support of this outstanding annual event. The Thanksgiving Parade is a long-standing tradition for families and friends that marks the beginning of the holiday season,” said Gary Scott, president, Allen Tate Companies.
“This year’s parade is all about showcasing the dynamic energy of Charlotte and Uptown,” said Robert Krumbine, chief creative officer for Charlotte Center City Partners and parade producer. “With cARTs and other new experiences, we’re embracing the spirit of innovation that defines this city. It will be a celebration of creativity, diversity, and unity for all to enjoy.”
The parade is a free event. For more information about the parade and to purchase reserved VIP seating, visit www.novanthealththanksgivingparade.com.
