How to watch Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a tradition 100 years in the making
Briefly

"The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a beloved tradition that marks the beginning of the holiday season for millions of live spectators and viewers across the country," said Will Coss, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade executive producer. He noted that artisans and production experts work year-round to make the event happen and its vast scale is reflective of its significance to the holiday culture.
The parade debuted in November 1924 as 'Macy's Christmas Parade,' and introduced its first balloon, Felix the Cat, three years later. Now, 100 years later, it features over 30 balloons and 20 floats, marking a significant evolution in this beloved tradition.
