Macy's Thanksgiving Parade first started in 1924, when Macy's employees dressed as clowns, cowboys and traveled with Central Park zoo animals and creative floats from Herald Square to Harlem in Manhattan, to showcase the opening of the “World’s Largest Store”. With an audience of over 250,000 people, the parade was such a success that Macy's declared it would become an annual event. Here is a rare film of Macy's Thanksgiving Parade from 1930.
