Hey everyone! Thanksgiving is right around the corner, which means one thing: the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2025 is coming! If you’ve ever wondered when it’s happening, what the route is, or how to watch it, here’s a quick guide.
A Quick Look Back:
The first parade was in 1924 — yep, almost a century ago! Back then, Macy’s had live animals from the Central Park Zoo in the parade. By 1927, giant character balloons made their debut, replacing the animals. Since then, it’s grown into a massive event with floats, performers, and balloons that people all over the world love to watch.
