The first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was held on
November 27, 1924, in New York City, and was originally
called the Macy’s Christmas Parade.
Organized by Macy’s employees to celebrate the opening
of their new flagship store, the event featured floats,
professional bands, and live animals borrowed from the
Central Park Zoo, concluding with Santa Claus arriving
at Herald Square.
The parade was an instant success, and Macy’s made it
an annual tradition, with the first national television
broadcast taking place in 1947.
