Nothing exemplifies Thanksgiving quite like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Don't just watch from home this year, hit the streets and catch all the excitement in person. Parade go-ers routinely start filing in around 6:00 a.m., so get there early if you want a good view. The parade itself, in its 88th year, will kick off at 9:00 a.m. and will close out with the arrival of Santa Claus signaling the start of the Christmas season. In between the starting and closing ceremonies, fans of the parade will be treated to musical acts and all of the enormous balloons that have become synonymous with the parade. The parade starts at 77th and Central Park West and wraps up 2.5 miles later in Macy's Herald Square.
