Historical Photo: Then and Now (Asks What)

Then and Now asks What has a winner.

We are awarding the victory to the person who came closest to the correct answer. 

The question was: What is being celebrated in this photograph? 

It clearly is a parade. But what parade?

We received several smart answers, two of which revolved around the celebration of the end of World War I.

Some might quip that the parade was celebrating something more momentous.

It was the Thanksgiving Game Victory Parade in 1914. The football game was played at Abbott Field.

The winning answer came from Peter (no last name) who said he thought they might be celebrating Thanksgiving. 

Well, he was partially right.

We'll also keep the  feature going by posting  another photograph of a historic house, event or location on the following Saturday.
