When  it comes to parades, New York may own Thanksgiving, but no one beats Hollywood for Christmas. The slightly kitschy, but very lovable Hollywood Christmas Parade airs across the country throughout December, but the live event takes place on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend.

The 2024 Grand Marshall is actor Jeremy Renner. 

The Parade features something for everyone: floats, celebrities, bands, and giant balloons.  And how could it be Christmas without an appearance by Santa Claus?

The hosts are Laura McKenzie, Dean Cain, Montel Williams, Elizabeth Stanton and Laura Mackenzie. ” Mario Lopez, who was Grand Marshal in a previous year,  receives
the Humanitarian Award

The Parade starts on Hollywood Blvd at Orange then wraps around from Vine to Sunset.

Reserved Grandstand seating is available for purchase. Curbside viewing is free along the majority of the parade route.  

The parade starts at 6pm.
