Opening night kicks off the festive season with vibrant floats, high-stepping toy soldiers, energetic drumming ensembles, costumed snow princesses, dazzling LED light displays, and real falling snow flurries drifting from the rooftops.\n\nAdmission is completely free, making it the crown jewel of Puget Sound Thanksgiving weekend celebrations.
