The Chicago Thanksgiving Parade has announced its partnership with Pluto TV, a free streaming television service. This alliance ensures that anyone in the U.S. can experience the Parade, live and for free, on Thanksgiving morning from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. CST.
Established in 1934, the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade will mark the return of its helium inflatable balloons. Viewers can expect 18 helium balloons set to soar through Chicago’s skyline. This is just part of the three hours of free family entertainment on State Street in Downtown Chicago.
In addition to the live stream on streaming service’s Christmas channel, the Parade will also be available on demand from the streaming service, ensuring that even those who miss the live event can join the festivities later without cost.
“Streaming is not the future of television viewing; streaming is the here and now of television viewing. Pluto TV is the perfect home for the live national broadcast of the Parade. We are thrilled to share our Parade with Pluto TV and the rest of the country,” Phil Purevich, executive producer of the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade.
“Pluto TV offers a feel-good lineup of holiday programming for the whole family, featuring movies, classic televisions series, cooking shows, and now live events with the addition of the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade,” adds Scott Reich, senior vice president of programming at Pluto TV. “We are honored to be a part of such an esteemed and beloved event which we know will further cement Pluto TV as a special part of many holiday celebrations.”
