Thanksgiving is an important event in America
Thanksgiving is ''best'' in New York
03 October 2008With gigantic helium balloons, carnival floats and street entertainment, the Macy''s Thanksgiving Day Parade is a must-visit event for those in New York next month.
Taking place on November 27th, the parade promises to be an entertaining and colourful event that the whole family can enjoy.
Starting on 77th Street, visitors can watch the parade as it winds its way towards Central Park, past Columbus Circle and down towards Macy''s on 34th Street.
Described by What''s on When as one of the city''s "best" Thanksgiving events, it also features clowns, marching bands and even the odd celebrity guest.
Those attending the parade are advised to find a good spot as early as possible, as it is expected to draw thousands of people and views can be restricted.
Meanwhile, other events taking place in New York over the coming months include the Harlem International Film Festival, Columbus Day Parade and the New Yorker Festival.
