The beloved Thanksgiving tradition of giant balloons is making a return in Chicago this year.

CHICAGO - The 89th edition of the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade will hit the streets downtown this month.

The parade will take place on the morning of Thanksgiving, Nov. 23, from 8-11 a.m. along State Street from Ida B. Wells Drive and travels north to Randolph Street.

Giant inflatables return this year along with highly touted marching bands, equestrian units, cultural performance groups and who could ever forget Santa.
