Thanksgiving Throwback – Past Broadway Parade Performances

The annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is known for enthralling spectators and TV viewers with giant character balloons, dazzling floats, the nation’s best marching bands and performance groups, celebrities and the official arrival of Santa Claus.
