Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Manhattan balloon march
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is an annual procession through Manhattan on Thanksgiving morning, famous for its giant helium balloons of cartoon characters, elaborate floats, and marching bands.
Organized by the department store since 1924, it marks the unofficial start of the Christmas shopping season and is broadcast nationally: We watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade every year while the turkey cooks.
