The Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade
Weather keeps N.Y. parade balloons flying low
NEW YORK (AP) -- Strong gusts and intermittent rain swirled over Manhattan early Thursday, but Big Bird and Snoopy stayed on track -- albeit a slightly lower one -- to please fans in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Officials waited until right before the scheduled 9 a.m. start to decide whether it was safe for the event's famous balloons to float through Midtown despite the wet and wind.
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, usually the "Macy's Day Parade" in informal contexts, and originally the "Macy's Christmas Parade," is an annual parade presented by Macy's Department Store. The three-hour event is held in New York City starting at 9:00 a.m. EST on Thanksgiving Day.
