Parade organizers estimate one million people filed along Woodward to watch the entertainment and fun that is America's Thanksgiving Parade.
This is after all, the second largest Thanksgiving parade in America.
With 26 floats, 10 bands and 6 balloons, the sights and sounds of America's Thanksgiving Parade filled Detroit this morning.
The parade is celebrating a big birthday this year at 90-years-old, and continues to draw-in first timers every year, like Shana Collins.
There were eight new floats this year, adding to the big bold colors filling Woodward for miles.
It's become a tradition shared for generations that continues to bring families together.
"I love just spending the whole day with them, I look forward to it because no concerns about work," says David Kelly. "I'm not going to get called or interrupted or anything like that. So very, very exciting."
Of course what's a holiday parade without the big man himself. Santa joined in on the fun, taking a break from the toy shop to spread a little joy.
Not only was this shared across TVs in metro Detroit, the parade aired in more than 170 other cities in America.
