Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

November 22, 2007
New York, New York
For more than 75 years, at 9 am sharp, this magical parade has touched
the hearts of wide-eyes kids of all ages. Macy's Parade "is"
Thanksgiving, isn't it? From 81st Street and Central Park West, traveling
south to Columbus Circle, then south on Broadway to Macy's headquarters
on 34th Street, the parade draws millions to New York and lots more to
their television sets every year. This year's lead balloon is Bandleader
Mickey Mouse, and the parade has special appearances by BB Mak, Jessica
Simpson, Emeril Lagasse, the Music Man Broadway Show and is hosted by
Matt Lauer and Katie Couric from the Today Show. And, as is tradition,
at 12pm, Santa Claus arrives at Herald Square to finish the parade and
begin the holiday season.
