A parade usually held during the day, whether it's the Macy's parade in New York or a smaller parade in another city or town. There's a reason the parades have already been successful throught the years they have held them without having to change their scheduleThe ,
people can already see the floats without having to waste a ton of
money to light them up, and they can see the bands and
people walking during the day, so it makes sense the parades have always been held during the
daytime. A New Years celebration is held at night because the focal point pf the parade is a lit
ball, peach, or other object on a building, instead of down on the street with the crowd, so it makes sense for a New Years celebration to be held at night, and not a Thanksgiving parade.
The girl wanted to take the Thanksgiving parade in it's current form from the
people who had always known it the way it was, along with many other things. That was the reason (essentially no reason but to be inflammatory and
piss everybody off) she wanted the parade, or street signs, or other things they loved about their town the way they were to change to
something they didn't recognize.
