After a very successful weekend in Washington D.C with visits to many locations sponsored by 96.3 FM, WHUR radio in the nation's capital the EriAm sisters will be in Chicago on thanksgiving day. This Thursday morning, the 78th Annual McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade will take place in downtown Chicago. The festivities will be televised live on both WGN-TV locally in the Chicago area and on cable/satellite superstation WGN America nationwide. Most people who have cable throughout the country should be able to dial into WGN. A delayed broadcast will appear on sister-station CLTV for you Chicago residents. As is done in Chicago each Thanksgiving, the historic free parade will march its way down State Street, heading north from Congress Pkwy toward Randolph Street, starting at 8:00am.
The public is invited out to see the giant helium-filled balloons, floats, equestrian units, marching bands, baton corps, dance troupes, special guests, and other forms of entertainment. There will be over 100 parade units this year. Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey's Circus will be on hand, the Harlem Globetrotters will be participating, a live performance from Million Dollar Quartet, a live performance from Pinkalicious, a live performance from Hubbard Street Dance, live performance from The Eriam Sisters, a live performance from Celeste Kellogg, WLIT-FM's Edison the Lite-Nosed Reindeer will be there, parade mascot Teddy Turkey will be there, and of course, the parade always brings Santa Claus to Chicago before it ends. Since the parade is again sponsored by McDonald's, the Honorary Grand Marshal will be their clown mascot, Ronald McDonald.
The celebrity parade Grand Marshal for this year will be actress Holland Taylor ("Two and a Half Men"). Once again the parade will take place in downtown Chicago on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday November 24th. The parade will be once again broadcast live and in high definition locally on WGN 9 Chicago and nationally on WGN America, with distribution into 75 million households across the country. This makes the McDonald’s Thanksgiving Parade one of the only three parades in the country to be broadcast nationally in its entirety. Tell all of your friends and family nationwide to tune in to watch the EriAm sisters on Thanksgiving morning!
