Annual Thanksgiving parade to be held Sunday

The 39th annual Mayfair-Holmesburg Thanksgiving Parade will take place on Sunday, Nov. 22, starting at noon.

The parade, sponsored by the Mayfair Business Association, will start at Rhawn Street, and the route goes south to Knorr Street.

The grand marshal is the Rev. Joseph Campellone, former president of Father Judge High School.

The theme is Faith, Family & Community.

Marchers will include string bands, politicians, dance teams, cheerleaders, Scouts and the General Lee and other vintage cars. Santa Claus will ride on the top of a fire truck at the end of the parade.

Performances will take place at Tudor Street.

Children can bring their letters to be collected by Santa’s elves.

“It’s a Northeast Philadelphia tradition,” said parade committee member Pete McDermott.

The rain date is Nov. 29.
