Macy's Thanksgiving Parade 2022 - What to Expect
11/16/2022
All you need to know about The Macy's Parade in New York City
One of the most beloved NYC Parade is (almost) upon us –– CAN YOU BELIEVE IT THAT THANKSGIVING IS ONLY 8 DAYS AWAY??!! We for sure cannot! Not sure if it's just us, or what, bu every year, we tell ourselves that this time we'll be ready ahead of time & everything will be planned (dinner too) with no need to rush on the 11th hour ... but as usual, even this year it feels like Thanksgiving just snuck up on us!
Although, we haven't yet shopped for our Thanksgiving Dinner, we for sure are EXTREMELY EXCITED that our favorite Parade is back next week. We put together some information you might find useful and you can always follow us on Instagram and Social Media for more up-to-dates info & breaking news.
