Description
The beloved Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade celebrates its 100th edition this year. The New York Historical has a special connection to the event, since the current route begins just outside the museum’s entrance on Central Park West and balloons are inflated alongside the building on 77th Street the night before. This installation features depictions of the parade and looks at its history, which began in 1924 when Macy's employees marched in costume along with clowns, bands, nursery-rhyme-themed floats and Central Park Zoo animals.
