Kaufmann's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Kaufmann's Thanksgiving Day Parade was a traditional annual event held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to celebrate the holiday. It featured large, themed floats, marching band performances, and sometimes celebrity appearances, creating a festive community atmosphere. Originating in the early 20th century, the parade was associated with Kaufmann's department store, a local retail institution.

The parade eventually ended as other holiday traditions and events evolved, but it remains a notable part of Pittsburgh's historical celebrations.
