The correct answer is - Detroit, Michigan.
America's Thanksgiving Parade is an annual American parade held on Thanksgiving Day in downtown Detroit, Michigan.
The tradition started in the city in 1924 by the J.L. Hudson Company department store.
After the successful Hudson display of the Canadian Eaton's Santa Claus Parade in Toronto, Ontario, the idea came into existence. However, after the World War II, the parade was suspended in 1943 and 1944. The parade was then turned over to the Detroit Renaissance Foundation, who produced it for four years. In 1983, Detroit Renaissance transferred control of the parade to the newly created Michigan Thanksgiving Parade Foundation.
"America's Thanksgiving Parade" is a registered trademark of the foundation.
The Mack to Congress route is the route the first parade followed in 1924.
