2022 El Paso Sun Bowl Parade Ready to Roll – Here’s What You Need to Know
A holiday fixture for almost nine decades, the Sun Bowl Parade is a Turkey Day tradition for many El Paso families who have no problem getting up at an ungodly hour on Thanksgiving morning to stake out a spot along Montana.
Every year hundreds of thousands of El Pasoans line up along both sides of Montana to watch the procession of floats, marching bands, military ceremonial units, and oversized Shriners driving under-sized cars.

First organized as the Sun Carnival Parade in 1939 by the El Paso Downtown Lions Club, the parade was originally held on New Year’s Day. It was rescheduled to Thanksgiving Day in 1978 mostly because the weather was more inviting and predictable.
Its popularity has grown over the years and is now the largest community event in West Texas.
