Fall and Thanksgiving are special times at B.C. Tent & Awning as we start preparing for America ‘s Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration. The celebration takes place along the Plymouth waterfront every year on the weekend before Thanksgiving. The main attraction is the parade on Saturday. Thousands of families come to Plymouth for this event. B.C. Tent & Awning provides multiple tents on the waterfront that get installed over the week leading up to the event. These tents include a crafters tent, kids tent, food tent, VIP tent, and the showmobile where premier parade viewing takes place. Last year I took my son Thomas to the parade‘ and he loved it. It is a great event for the whole family to enjoy. Check out my photos and scroll down for a full event schedule for the weekend!
