Macy's Thanksgiving Parade: A National Tradition Amidst NYC's Rainy Backdrop

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which began in 1924, was initiated by immigrant employees of Macy's who wanted to blend American Thanksgiving with European parade traditions. Initially featuring live zoo animals, the parade evolved to include helium balloons and became a national symbol, watched by millions. Despite interruptions during WWII and somber moments like JFK's assassination, the parade has grown into a major holiday event, celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2023.
