November 27 | 10am | Pier 16 | Free
Get ready for a booming morning at the Seaport Museum—your front-row preview of the iconic New York City Thanksgiving Day Parade, a day early in the Seaport!
Catch the excitement as marching bands from the University of South Carolina and the University of Massachusetts take over Pier 16 with stationary performances that are sure to get you in the parade spirit. Over 400 students from these talented bands will fill the air with the sounds of New York City-inspired classics like “New York, New York,” “Fame,” and “Fly Me to the Moon,” plus medleys of popular hits and school songs.
No registration needed, this free outdoor event is open to everyone from 10am to 11am. Come experience the magic of marching bands before the big day.
