The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is 100 years old. Here’s a look through the years.
While 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of this now iconic annual event, it will only be the 98th time the parade has taken place. The parade was suspended from 1942-1944 in order to conserve materials for World War II. Two million spectators turned out for the parade’s return in 1945, according to news reports.
