The 68th annual H-E-B Thanksgiving Day Parade is coming up on November 23, 2017, starting at 9 a.m. and participants and parade-goers alike are super excited in anticipation! The parade will be located in downtown Houston, Texas and it’s free for everyone in attendance. There is also general seating up for purchase through the link provided here, which can be bought at a cost of $28 for those that require it.

Excited to be a part of this wonderful event, Rodeo Houston posted about their involvement in the parade on their Facebook page just this past week. “Be on the lookout for our Rodeo-themed floats during the “Houston is Tradition” segment. You can tune in from home on Thanksgiving Day morning or catch it LIVE in downtown Houston!” their post explained. Will you be present at this year’s parade? If not, will you be watching?
