What: The holiday season officially begins when the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade steps off at the sound of Let’s Have a Parade! Stepping off with its signature giant helium character balloons, fantasy-filled floats, marching bands, performance groups and a gaggle of clowns, America’s Parade promises non-stop pomp and pageantry for spectators young and old.
When: Thursday, November 28th from 9am-noon
Where: Kick off from 77th Street and Central Park West. The Parade will then march down to Columbus Circle, where it will turn onto Central Park South, before making its way straight down midtown Manhattan on 6th Avenue from 59th to 34th Streets. The Parade concludes with its final turn onto 34th Street in front of Macy’s Herald Square.
