Thanksgiving Day Parade


I’ll introduce about Thanksgiving Day Parade.
On Thanksgiving Day, the parade is famous. Originally known as Macy’s Christmas Parade, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was started by Macy's Employees and professional entertainers in 1924 in Detroit down to Woodward Avenue. Macy is an American department store. The company produces the parade.

The parade began on a very small scale, but it became popular from year to year. And finally it became an annual event. In the parade, large balloons and TV personalities, and high school marching bands move. The large balloons are shaped into cartoon characters. Even more the parade collaborates with Walt Disney Company and a balloon of Mickey Mouse was made. The 3 hour parade comes to an end with Santa Claus's float. And after the day, the city is decorated with Christmas illuminations.
