America’s Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration

Looking for an unforgettable music trip and educational student travel experience? Performing Arts Consultants is thrilled to continue our exclusive partnership with America’s Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration and Parade, televised on ABC in Boston, in historic Plymouth, Massachusetts! For over 20 years, this cherished event has drawn hundreds of thousands to experience authentic Americana. Witness Thanksgiving history come to life as Pilgrims, Native Americans, Soldiers, Patriots, and Pioneers step out of the history books and onto the streets of Plymouth.

Join us for this incredible opportunity to perform for thousands of spectators during this true American holiday celebration in the very place where it all began over 400 years ago! Imagine your band, choir, or other performing group marching in this nationally televised parade, sharing your musical talents with a vast audience. This is more than just a performance; it's a chance to be part of a living history lesson, an enriching educational student travel experience.

After the parade, your group will be treated to a special event at Plimoth Patuxet Museums, including a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner and a self-guided tour of the historic Plantation and the iconic Mayflower. Explore the fascinating world of the Pilgrims and Wampanoag people, gaining a deeper understanding of this pivotal moment in American history. This immersive experience is a valuable addition to any student's education.

And the adventure doesn't stop there! Plymouth's close proximity to Boston opens up even more possibilities for your student travel itinerary. Overnight groups will have the chance to explore one of America’s finest cities, experiencing its rich history, vibrant culture, and world-class attractions. From historical landmarks to renowned museums, Boston offers a wealth of educational and entertainment opportunities, making this music trip an even more enriching educational student travel experience.

Performing Arts Consultants can help you plan every detail of your group's participation in this spectacular event. From parade logistics and accommodations to sightseeing excursions in Boston, we'll ensure a seamless and memorable music trip and educational student travel experience for your students.
