Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Making its debut in 1924, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has secured its spot as one of the most extravagant celebrations in the entire country. Originally named the Macy’s Christmas Day Parade, and now commonly referred to as the Macy’s Day Parade, this vibrant, colorful gathering lures in 44 million television viewers and 3 million live viewers every year. The parade New York showcases annually has always aired in Manhattan, with the exception of 1942 to 1944 when the parade was temporarily suspended during World War II. First televised in 1939, the three hour event takes place at 9am on Thanksgiving Day and has always unveiled a visit from Santa.
