Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, November 2021
First time to go to Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade
This year, we decided to get up early (early for some, for me it was sleeping in), which meant getting up before 6:00AM. After a cup of coffee and breakfast, we were on our way to the Parade. The subway was not too packed and we got to our chosen point on the route at 8:00AM. We wanted to be just South of Central Park where it wasn’t too crowded. We found an area that got us quite close to the front row.
The Famous Macy's Balloons
The floats are also in the Parade
Quite a few floats at the Parade and many of them feature celebrities. Except for the 1980s rock band, Foreigner, I didn’t know anyone else. Jim says it’s because we’re old. I beg to differ – it’s because it’s not good music, of course!
Dancers, Cheerleaders, Marching Bands, Oh My!
Parade participants come from all over the USA. It’s very difficult to be qualified to be in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. They are all very good and luckily the weather was very nice for this late in November.
Watch Some of the Fun
I tested my new Leica camera with the video function and it is quite good. Of course, it is not a video camera but a photo camera.
