Thousands of St. Louisans will begin their Thanksgiving in downtown St. Louis at the 2012 Ameren Missouri Thanksgiving Day Parade. Watching the parade has been a tradtion for many local families for decades. Dozens of marching bands, floats, balloons and more help kick off the holiday season in St. Louis.
The parade begins at Fourth Street and Washington, then heads down Market Street to 10th Street. If you can't make it downtown, you can watch coverage of the parade live on KMOV Channel 4 from 8:45 a.m. to 11 a.m.
If you're looking for something to do after the parade, check out my article on the St. Louis Area Restaurants, Stores and Attractions Open on Thanksgiving.

I do believe all the ideas you’ve presented in your post. They are really convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are very quick for novices. Could you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.
What the hell is the rouat of this prade guess the city does not want anyone to come down and see it.
I guess it pays to read the article first. “The parade begins at Fourth Street and Washington, then heads down Market Street to 10th Street” this is the “route” you were looking for. Really?
It is indeed worthy going to see the parade. Please find the photos below.
