For nine decades MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE has been a march like no other by bringing generations an UNRIVALED procession filled with more than 8,000 volunteer participants dressed as clowns, strutting their stuff in a marching band or escorting the Parade's signature giant inflatables and floats of fantasy into the hearts of millions. Originally known as the Macy's Christmas Parade, the tradition was started by Macy's employees who wanted to celebrate the holiday season with a grand pageant similar to the over-the-top carnivals and festivals of Europe.

America's favorite holiday tradition will once again kick off the season of joy as the 90th Annual MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE returns to march down the streets of New York on tomorrow morning.
