Where to Watch the El Paso Thanksgiving Parade Live This Year

Thanksgiving is here which means families are getting ready and planning for The Glasheen, Valles & Inderman Sun Bowl Parade which is basically El Paso’s unofficial kickoff to the holidays!

The Glasheen, Valles & Inderman Injury Lawyers Sun Bowl Parade is one of the most iconic Thanksgiving Day traditions in the Sun City, and 2025 is about to be extra flavorful because El Paso’s own Aarón Sánchez is leading the way.

Sánchez is an award-winning chef that many people may be familiar with especially if they have  watched him serving up sass and culinary wisdom on FOX’s MasterChef and MasterChef Junior, but he isn’t just a TV star.  Sánchez is a proud El Paso native who brings his Mexican heritage to life through bold, modern Latin cuisine.
