3 million people expected to line NYC streets for Macy's..
Thanksgiving Day Parade
The crowds will be out in force tomorrow for the Macy's Thansgiving Day Parade, a tradition dating back to 1924.
About three million spectators are expected to line the parade route to watch in person, organizers say, as the balloons, floats and marching bands make their way from the Upper West Side to Macy's flagship store at Herald Square.
Last year, after a TV-only event in 2020, organizers expected about 2.5 million spectators. This year's event will feature 16 giant character balloons, 28 floats, 12 marching bands, a host of musical stars and more. Plus 700 clowns and Santa Claus, for good measure.
Spectators getting a jump on the big event can watch the balloons being inflated on Wednesday afternoon, November 23, on the Upper West Side.
The preparations are open to the public from noon to 6 p.m. The area can only be accessed from West 72nd Street and Columbus Avenue.
The parade is set to step off on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, at 8:45 a.m. ET with TV coverage from 9 a.m. to noon.
