“The City of Coral Gables and the Junior Orange Bowl have a long history together, so we wanted a theme that would properly honor the 90th anniversary of our host city,” explained Sam Burritt, parade chair. “The memories that our parade has created over the years resonate strongly with our community and we want to celebrate all those memorable experiences throughout the year leading up to the parade day.”

More than 60 individual units will be on display as they march through the streets of Coral Gables. The international culture of Coral Gables will be on display as the Taiwan Office of Economic and Cultural Development will return with its crowd stunning performances. There also will be steel drums representing the Bahamas.

A number of local high school marching bands will entertain the crowd with the sights and sounds of their communities. There’s entertainment for all ages as the parade is a perfect family outing to wind down the Thanksgiving holiday.
