For nearly 100 years, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has been synonymous with the official start of the holiday season in the United States. Growing from a two block-long collection of Macy’s colleagues dressed in whimsical clown outfits, playing instruments and adorning floats in 1924, to the world-famous spectacle we know today, at the core of the Macy’s Parade has been the warm memories that fill the hearts and minds of generations of American families.
The parade is free to watch. It starts at 77th St and Central Park West and heads down to 34th Street to Macy's Herald Square. Note: public viewing is not available at the start or end of the parade. Here's the full route.
