Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

Started in 1924, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is an iconic American tradition and the unofficial start to the holiday season.  If you ever find yourself in NYC on Thanksgiving, get up early, put on a few layers of clothes and head over to check out this fantastic parade.
