Virtual Thanksgiving Day parade: A beloved tradition goes virtual

Home / Virtual Thanksgiving Day parade: A beloved tradition goes virtual

The Novant Health Thanksgiving Day Parade has been a tradition in the city of Charlotte since 1947. In 2020, for the first time in that long history, we were unable to host a live, in-person event due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, we hosted a virtual celebration that featured some of the best segments from parades of years past, including floats, marching bands, balloons and performances. While we weren’t able to host this beloved event in its traditional format, we were thrilled to come together virtually as a community in a year like no other.
