Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2019 In New York City (PHOTOS)
NEW YORK, NY — No wind is strong enough to stop Snoopy and friends from flying through the streets of New York City during the 93rd annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Protective nets are being used to hold down many of the balloons throughout the parade route as wind gusts are projected to reach up to 40 mph. According to AP News, New York City rules require that balloons be grounded if sustained winds exceed 23 mph and gusts exceed 34 mph. With 16 giant character balloons this year, no chances are taken.
From live performances by Celine Dion and Idina Menzel to the iconic floats and balloons, this year’s parade is one not to be missed.
