McDonald's is holding its annual Thanksgiving Parade in Chicago - complete with fancy floats and special guests that locals would find hard to miss.
This year's McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade takes an early start at 8 a.m. CST, and is being hosted by anchors Mark Suppelsa and Micah Materre. A live stream will be available here.
Rock star Dee Snider will be joined by honorary co-host Ronald McDonald as the 2014 Grand Marshal. Special guests include big names such as Jackie Robinson West (Little League World Series National Champion), Karolyn Grimes ("It's a Wonderful Life"), The Harlem Globetrotters, Yuri Sardarov ("Chicago Fire"), Colin Egglesfield ("Something Borrowed"), Doug Sohn (Hot Doug's), Marisa Buchheit (Miss Illinois 2014).
The little ones who likely would have only one special figure in mind in this winter season will not be disappointed, as Santa Claus himself plans to make a presence -along with Mrs. Claus!
Chicag0-based performers national marching bands will provide entertainment in front of the Macy's Building on State Street. Prospective attendants should prepare to present a VIP ticket should they desire to attend the parade from this particular block. Viewing points for non-ticket holders can check the parade route here.
