MACY’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

A Thanksgiving institution for 92 years, this parade is one of the most famous holiday events in the world. 

This amazing and iconic spectacle of celebrities, Broadway performers, enormous balloon creatures and the first Santa of the season can be witnessed in person on this year’s new parade route, which will have more street space for viewers than past routes. As it did in the past, the parade begins at 77th Street and Central Park West and proceeds south. The new route sends the parade east on Central Park South, then down Seventh Avenue, where it will then turn east on 42nd Street and finally continue south on Sixth Avenue, here it terminates at the Macy’s flagship store on 34th Street and Seventh Avenue.
