The 14th Annual America’s Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration will be held this year as it is each year at the birthplace of Thanksgiving, Plymouth, Massachusetts on the “Weekend before Thanksgiving.

America’s Hometown Thanksgiving Parade, which has been touted by the Patriot Ledger as “one of new England’s most successful events”, will feature the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales, military units, marching bands, and spectacular floats.

Bring the kids, bring a blanket, tell a neighbor, and get ready for one of New England’s most exciting events – the America’s Hometown Thanksgiving Parade!

Other festivities include a performance by Air Force Band, Tops in Blue at Plymouth’s Memorial Hall, to honor American veterans; the New England Food Festival and culinary celebrity competition; and performances by the National Senior Drum and Bugle Corps.

Soak up the past at the Historic Village on Plymouth's waterfront. Families can enjoy Colonial storytelling, music, dance & craft demos, and chat with costumed colonists.

Observe Colonial crafters who will also be weaving and spinning as well as making candles and soap. Sample homemade bread, jams and jelly from the farm stand, while tapping your toes to America’s music. Enjoy live presentations of music and dance from sea chanteys and patriotic refrains to clogging and square dancing. Plan on a day of fun and festivities for the whole family.
