HOUSTON — A Houston tradition continued this Thanksgiving Day. It was the 74th annual H-E-B Thanksgiving Day Parade.
KHOU 11 was your home for all the action, with anchor Ron Treviño and Great Day Houston host Deborah Duncan calling the parade and reporter Ugochi Iloka walking alongside some of the most creative parade floats around. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner was the grand marshal, with Houston Rockets legends Calvin Murphy and Rudy Tomjanovich as co-grand marshals.
The parade was LIVE on KHOU 11 and streamed live on KHOU 11+
