On Thanksgiving I was able to take part in two of Detroit’s Thanksgiving Day traditions. The first was the America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade which goes down Woodward. People line the street from Mid-Town to Downtown to watch the bands, floats and entertainers march down the street.
After the parade had finished, the Detroit Lions hosted the Minnesota Vikings at Ford Field with this year’s halftime show featuring Jason Derulo. Below are some of the images from the day. Enjoy!
