Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was started in 1924 by Macy's department store as a promotional event to celebrate the holiday season and attract customers. Originally designed as a Christmas parade, it featured employees and their families dressed in costumes, along with live animals from the Central Park Zoo. The event quickly gained popularity, evolving into an annual tradition that showcases elaborate floats, giant balloons, and performances, ultimately becoming a symbol of Thanksgiving in the United States.
