Macy's is promising its largest Thanksgiving Day parade yet, exactly 100 years after the tradition first started. Here's a look at what to expect and how to watch.
On Thursday morning, millions will tune in for a holiday tradition: the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Among the colorful floats and bands making their way down the streets of New York City is a first-timer — the Jonesboro High School Majestic Marching Cardinals.
Larissa FastHorse is updating the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to make it "less harmful" to Indigenous people. She's also consulting on a new Peter Pan and has a satire called The Thanksgiving Play.
