It’s our city, our roots, where our friends and family live, and when we travel we say we are from Detroit, and we say it with pride. And that’s why we signed up through 2025 to be the presenting sponsor for Detroit’s Thanksgiving day parade, the best parade in America.”

Themed “Love on Woodward,” America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade presented by Gardner-White will air on WDIV Local 4, the exclusive and longtime television partner of the parade. 760 WJR’s Paul W. Smith will also broadcast the parade radio show.
