Neighborhood Birthday Party Parade

Sesame Place® is celebrating its 40th birthday in 2020 and everyone’s favorite parade will be transformed into the spectacular new Neighborhood Birthday Party Parade! The entire parade will be dressed up for the occasion including colorful balloons, sparkly cupcakes and a brand-new, toe-tapping birthday song! Guests will enjoy three show-stopping performances about letters, numbers, and friendship along with energetic contemporary and classic Sesame Street tunes. The new, interactive birthday stop will have everyone dancing and clapping along with their favorite Sesame Street friends as they are asked to “put their party hats on and blow out the candles!” The new Neighborhood Birthday Party Parade is part of our special birthday celebration so don’t miss your chance to celebrate with us in 2020!


Located just 30 minutes outside of Philadelphia, this daily “Street Party” features familiar contemporary tunes, as well as Sesame Street favorites that are sure to get everyone in the mood for fun!  Kids learn about letters, numbers and friendship through the parade’s three show-stopping performances and 11 larger-than-life floats.

 

There is a designated area for disabled guests along the parade route.  This area is on the east side (river side) of the parade route, adjacent to the Boy’s River Restroom. While this area was established to provide mobility impaired individuals and their families a place to view the parade, those with a mobility impairment may choose any other location along the parade route as well.
