27th 1924 Thanksgiving Day
On this day, New York City's Macy department store held its first Thanksgiving
Day parade down a two-mile stretch of Broadway from Central Park West
to Herald Square. The parade featured large performing platforms that,
because they were attached to specially outfitted automobiles concealed
beneath them, seemed to float down Broadway. Each "float" had
a separate theme: some featured Macy's employees dressed as clowns, cowboys,
sheiks, and knights, while others displayed live animals on loan from
the Central Park Zoo. The event was created to boost holiday sales and
to bring customers to Macy's new flagship store at Herald Square. With
an audience of over a quarter of a million people, the parade was a great
success, and subsequently declared an annual event. In 1927, a new Macy's
tradition began with the introduction of large balloons in the shape of
animal or cartoon characters. Felix the Cat was Macy's first parade balloon.
Although these literal "floats" tended to command the center
of attention, automobile-propelled floats continue until this day--perennial
favorites being the Santa Claus float and the traditional Turkey float.
Since 1950, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has been nationally televised,
and millions of Americans tune in to the spectacle every year.
