(WJBK) - The 15th Annual Holiday Magic Parade is in downtown Royal Oak this year on Sunday, November 20th at 2 p.m. The parade starts at Lincoln and Washington and heads north on Washington to Fourth Street, where it heads west and ends at Lafayette.
This Downtown Royal Oak parade will once again kick off the holiday season by showcasing over 80 parade units including marching bands, floats from the Parade Company, circus performers, dance troupes and more!
Jay Towers from FOX 2 and 100.3 WNIC will serve as the parade's Grand Marshal again this year.
Royal Oak boasts several restaurants in the area that are perfect for a family brunch before seeing the parade. One of those restaurants is Lily's Seafood Grill & Brewery. The restaurant's co-owner joined us in the FOX 2 Cooking School to tell us more, and to share a bayou breakfast recipe with us. You can watch in the video player above, and find his recipe below.
