where is the macy's thanksgiving day parade held
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade The annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, the world's largest parade,[2] is presented by the U.S.-based department store chain Macy's. The tradition started in 1924,[3] tying it for the second-oldest Thanksgiving parade in the United States with America's Thanksgiving Parade in Detroit (with both parades being four years younger than the 6abc Dunkin' Donuts Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philadelphia). The three-hour Macy's event is held in Manhattan starting at 9:00Â a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Thanksgiving Day, and has been televised nationally on NBC since 1952.
Easter In the United States, because Easter falls on a Sunday, which is already a non-working day for federal and state employees, it has not been designated as a federal or state holiday. Easter parades are held in many American cities, involving festive strolling processions,[102] with the New York City parade being the best known.
