This Thanksgiving ( Nov. 24, 2016) will mark the 90th Macy's Day Parade. The first ever parade took place actually on Christmas in 1924. It's also interesting to note that the first ever parade had more than 250,000 people attend it. Nowadays it attracts more than 3.5 million people to the streets of New York City as well as over 50 million TV viewers! Felix the Cat was the first ever giant helium balloon to be at the parade.

Here's a short video of the Executive Producer of the Parade, Amy Kule discussing this year's event:
