Macy's parade
November float procession
The Macy's parade is the annual Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City, organized by the department store chain.
Officially the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, it features giant character balloons, floats, marching bands, and celebrity performances along a Manhattan route ending at Macy's Herald Square.
First held in 1924, it marks the unofficial start of the Christmas shopping season and draws millions of television viewers: We watch the Macy's parade every Thanksgiving morning.
