How do you get in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade?

Answer 1

The only thing I can think of is A. the Eaton Santa Claus parade- which is held in Canada on the US Thanksgiving day. I do not know if it still exists. There is definitely a parade-type attraction called the Klausjagen (Claus-Hunt) which is celebrated on December 6 in Switzerland. It honors St. Nicholas- huge Bishop"s Mitres are worn and carried- but has nothing whatsoever to do with Christmas. I accidentally learned of this holiday when in the seventh grade. The Klausjagen is seemingly specific to Switzerland, and the Zurich area.

Answer 2

Many of the participants in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade are, or are related to, employees of Macy's. Celebrities are sometimes invited to perform at the parade, and employees of companies that sponsor elements of the parade might get to ride the company's float or be balloon handlers. Marching Bands and performance groups are chosen after their directors submit an audition tape to Macy's.
