It’s almost time for one of the biggest holiday events of the year: the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade made its debut in 1924, and this year will celebrate its 98th edition on November 28.
Each year, more than 3.5 million spectators wake up early and carry their lawn chairs or ladders to snag a front-line view along the 2.5-mile parade route in the Big Apple. Another 50 million-plus viewers watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade at home while the turkey is roasting.
