She has traveled from Florida three years in a row to see the parade. Spectators lined up a half-dozen deep along the route on a gusty fall day, with leaves and confetti swirling in the wind. The wind during the parade blew about 13 mph with gusts up to 32 mph, according to the National Weather Service. City rules require balloons to be grounded if sustained winds exceed 23 mph and gusts exceed 34 mph.

The balloons have been grounded only once for weather-related reasons, in Joanna Mammen said she and her family came from Bradford County in northern Pennsylvania to see the parade she attended every year while growing up in the Bronx. Willie Brown said he traveled from Dallas to see the parade, particularly entertainers Ciara and Kelly Rowland.

In , a gust on an otherwise calm day sent a smaller balloon into a tree branch. That one popped and fell harmlessly onto the crowd. About Us. Hi Chris, we have no control over the performances or how many floats and balloons are included in the Parade. This was so helpful in planning our Thanksgiving trip this year. Thank you so much! Many people must be reading your tips! When we headed up to see the balloons at Central Park West, there were so many people.

Those coming from Columbus Ave had a massive wait. We stayed at the Marriott Marquis.

It was easy to find a spot to watch the parade. We got up at 6 am, left the hotel at am and got a great spot at 48th and 6th across from the Simon Schuster building. We dressed in layers.

The Latest

Definitely needed hats, gloves, scarves. Our legs and toes were cold even with wool socks. We wore comfortable shoes not boots. The people next to us had a great idea: they brought fleece blankets from home and packable stadium chairs to sit in while sitting on the ground while waiting. Their stadium chairs are rollable and had a strap to carry them. We brought packages of crackers and a water bottle. The people next to us stayed a block away as well and they came and went to their hotel a couple of times but it was hard for them to make their way back through the crowd at The start of parade floats reached us at am and Santa came by at So much fun meeting people and getting to see it in person.

It was an easy walk of a couple of blocks back. The restaurants around there were open and busy.

We called and placed a to go order at Juniors for matzo ball soup then ran across the street to get it. The line to eat there was long and over an hour wait. We were there and back in our room in 7 minutes. We had Thanksgiving dinner at the Capital Grill. We had reservations fortunately bc the wait for dinner was 1 hour or more. They ran out of their turkey dinner menu by 8 pm we planned on steak anyway. Thank you again for this fabulous post and for keeping it going! Happy Thanksgiving, Beth! I really appreciate you stopping by to share your experience and how my tips helped. The camp chairs that fold up and have a carry strap are a great idea.

Wow — great blog. Do you have any hotel updates or advice for Great information — thanks!

After wind scare, balloons fly over Macy’s Thanksgiving parade

Do the musical acts do something there? Bands and performers do perform while the parade marches by and I do recommend Columbus Circle. I like it there because the street curves a bit, so you have a view of the balloons and performers coming down Central Park West.

Hi Coming with the family for Thanksgiving I have got so lost with advise reading the internet. What would you suggest for the day please. Thanks Cheryl. This is why being up around Columbus Circle is great. The entire parade will pass by there by am. But if not, Columbus Circle is a good choice. Something newer is that the shops at Columbus Circle are now opening quite early and you can walk from inside there too. Where do they sit? Thanks so much. Yes, the parade goers stand. There is not any public seating. Some people will bring those fold up camping chairs that you can then put on your shoulder to sit until close to Parade time, but everyone stands during the Parade.

Of course, the further down the Parade route, the longer it takes for the entire Parade to pass by. We are excited to be in NYC for the holidays and attending the Parade this year. After extensive research and reading your blog which has been very helpful, our plan is to take the 1 train to Columbus Cir and find a spot and walk north if needed for closer view.

Maybe you can help me answer these questions. Once the parade ends we will have a full day of what to do???? Is the park closed, we would like to rent bikes and ride the park????? Is the memorial open on thanksgiving???? In general are most places open for normal business or closed? How long will it take to get from st on the 1 train to Columbus circle? Its about 20 minutes per MTA but on thanksgiving morning probably longer???? You can get a spot on the park side though where Central Park meets Columbus Circle. No, Central Park is never closed.

You can definitely explore the park after the Parade. Do keep in mind that it is a holiday in the US and much is closed.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

These days, stores have started opening on Thanksgiving Day with limited hours but many museums and attractions will be closed for the holiday. Restaurants are not a problem. And it is NYC, so there is always something to do! You could plan to see outdoor attractions and check for each individual attraction to see their opening hours for Thanksgiving Day. Going to a play on Broadway is nice, just walking around weather dependent and as mentioned above some tours and attractions still run. What could make the journey longer is the number of people using public transit and having to wait for the next or next couple trains to get on.

Might that get better viewing.

They have other partial Parade view rooms, but there are obstructions like other buildings. Well, 45 was not in office or even thinking of being in office when we stayed at Trump Tower. It is, unfortunately, one of the best viewing spots. There are no bathrooms along the route. You would need to go to a restaurant or cafe as a paying customer to use the bathrooms. Thanks so much Jennifer for this amazing blog and all the information contained therein! We are headed to NYC for Thanksgiving for the first time ever and cannot wait we are frequent visitors but have never been during this holiday!

As an aside, I appreciate your comment on 45 and putting the recommendation for Trump Tower into context.
