NEW YORK—With over 8,000 performers and 3.5 million spectators, the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is more than a New York tradition; it’s the most famous Thanksgiving celebration in the country.
Enjoyed by young and old, New Yorkers and tourists, and some 50 million home viewers following on TV, the parade has come a long way since it was first organized by Macy’s immigrant employees in 1924.
