The Thanksgiving morning parade is described as one of the nation’s oldest, but its 2026 listing gives no named lineup or confirmed viewing route.

All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
The number 77 is the clearest story in the H-E-B Thanksgiving Day Parade’s 2026 preview: it marks a long-running Houston event. The listing offers a broad picture of the procession, but not enough detail to choose a specific viewing spot or plan around a particular participant.
Visit Houston identifies this as the parade’s 77th annual edition and describes it as among the nation’s oldest Thanksgiving Day parades. That history gives the morning a place in Houston’s holiday calendar, while the 2026 description stays general: floats and performances, without specific participants named. If a particular performer or float would shape your plans, look for a more detailed event update.

The listing places the event in downtown Houston and gives 600 McKinney St. as its address. It does not identify that address as a start, finish or spectator point, or publish the parade route. A map destination alone therefore cannot tell you where to watch; check for updated event guidance before settling on a spot.
