Coverage starts at 8:30 a.m. with a 30-minute pre-show, followed by about three hours of parade and performances. Eakins Oval, Logan Circle and the Art Museum finish are popular family viewing spots; streets along the route close, so SEPTA or PATCO is easiest. ## Similar picks in Philadelphia - [Collingswood Holiday Parade 2026](https://grassyknees.com/philadelphia/activities/collingswood-holiday-parade-2026--listing-4d4866665c4f5df3f77836df) — Sat, Nov 28 · 10:00 AM · Haddon Avenue, downtown Collingswood (Zane Ave to W Linden Ave) · checked Oct 27.
