When: 1924

Where: New York City

Who：

Macy’s Department Stores

What：

While not the oldest continually running Thanksgiving Day Parade - Philadelphia’s Thanksgiving Parade is older by four years - the Macy’s parade is perhaps the most well known in and outside the nation.  Televised since 1954 it was a showcase for the chain of department stores and now has become the traditional start of the Holiday Season in the US.

Why

significant

Several features of the parade have become cultural icons including the large inflatable balloons that make the journey.  In more recent times, high school bands from all over the country compete for the opportunity to participate and pop culture stars also help draw crowds.  Of course, the conclusion of the parade every year is Santa Clause.
