The fourth Thursday of November, the U.S. held one of its most important holidays, on Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day.
This is a very familiar conclusion that U.S. citizens gather the whole family and friends to spend together this day around the dish of this celebration, a large roasted turkey accompanied by a delicious feast.
In the city of New York, this event does not go unnoticed, as it coincides with this day is celebrated many festivals, exhibitions and events, among which the parade was organized by Macy's.
This parade was first organized in 1924 by a group of employees of these stores, and such was his acceptance by all city residents The shop announced that it would become an annual event.
The parade begins each year on Thanksgiving at 9:00 am at 77th Street and Central Park West, next to the Museum of Natural History, and right there you can see the inflation of balloons the day before between 16:00 and 20:00.
From here, begins its journey down Central Park West to Columbus Circle, the place where we saw it, then follow Broadway to the big stores Macy'sa the height of the street 34. A total of 3 hours of travel.
Parade consists of giant helium balloons famous cartoon characters, floats, marching bands, dancers and clowns who parade through the streets of Manhattan to celebrate Thanksgiving Day, and ends at noon at the center of the city where there is usually a concert and several celebrities who give the go-ahead to the Christmas sales.
In fact, early on Thanksgiving day to Friday, takes place on Black Friday, one night shopping sprees, as the shops open at 00:00 with discounts of up to 80%, causing long queues at the shops to get real bargains.
If you are going to be in New York on those dates, you can take a while to see this parade, but I notice that is really full of people at 6:00 in the morning is waiting to get a good seat.
aguantéis do not think the 3 hours it lasts, because it gets a bit heavy if you are not in the front row and it is quite overwhelming in the amount of people coming.
I have read figures of over 1 million people watching the parade "in situ" and about 45 million through television, so more or less you can have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe repercussion this event in the United States.
