I remember Silver Spring had Thanksgiving parades back in the 1950's and 1960's.

The Montgomery County Thanksgiving Parade is the only Thanksgiving Parade in the metro DC area.
Held in downtown Silver Spring, the exciting parade traditionally heralds the start of the holiday season.
Did it smell like weed?
No. I was in the parade and then watched some more of it. It was a wonderful community event.
You must not have been at Freedom Plaza, because I cannot believe for a second that the only day of the year it didn’t smell like weed was during this parade.
Do you mean Freedom Plaza in DC or Veterans Plaza in Silver Spring? In any event, the parade went by Veterans Plaza on the street but not through it, and I didn’t go in it on Saturday.
Why are you trying so hard to find something wrong with this wonderful event you didn’t seem to go to?

Don't go if you don't want to. Say in your basement.
What if there's no basement

A celebration of oppression.

It’s a parade… not sure why it has to have a history?
No need to have a history, but question was does it have one? So just another celebration spreading holiday cheer. Got it.
Community events are terrible! They should all be banned.

They were supposed to have even more units participate this year. It's getting bigger and perhaps more of a "waste."?

Think of it as one of the benefits we get from our local taxes. The annual Hollywood Christmas Parade (Los Angeles), Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (NYC), Chicago Thanksgiving Parade, The Mayor’s Annual Christmas Parade (Baltimore, Md.), etc.
Philadelphia has one too
