The Iconic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Dates Back 94 Years

Since 1924, the iconic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade® has been entertaining the masses.

Now, Thanksgiving in and of itself is a delicious holiday generally filled with mouthwatering food, family, and love. But let’s be honest: The real nostalgia of the holiday comes from the Parade. Because if you’re a self-proclaimed fan, you know there’s literally nothing better than kicking off that crisp November day with the a.m. broadcast live from New York City.

And while some are able to enjoy the antics in the flesh…others can tune in and watch the historic Parade, which dates back over nine decades, from the comfort of their own cozy home.

For most, the Parade is pure perfection because it’s ladened with classic balloons that never seem to get old.

There is always a wide array of bedazzled floats, musical entertainment that everyone in the family will enjoy, Broadway stars belting out their show tunes and classic Christmas carols we know and love, and dance groups from all over the country who showcase how an American holiday can truly be a celebration for all.

The streets are filled with holiday cheer and balloons that are sure to bring a smile to the faces of young and old.

And the whole parade is capped off with a yearly appearance by none other than Jolly Old St. Nick, who’s decked out in red to remind you that Christmas is right. around. the. corner!!

Join in on the festivities for another magical year with Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade®. Catch it live in NYC, or watch it on NBC Thursday, Nov. 22, 2018, from 9 a.m. to noon! Because the only thing better than a delicious turkey dinner is a giant floating turkey coming down the streets of New York City.
