PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—On the evening of Dec. 4, Philadelphia held its first Visit Philadelphia Holiday Parade to celebrate all of winter’s holidays, including Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Year’s, and Chinese New Year.

Because of the pandemic, Philadelphia did not hold any major holiday parades last year. Both the participants and visitors were excited to join the celebration and express their New Year’s wishes.
