8New York City, New York

New York City is synonymous with Thanksgiving thanks to the world-famous Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Millions tune in each year to watch giant balloons, colorful floats, and performances make their way down Manhattan’s streets. Experiencing the parade in person is a bucket-list event for many.

After the parade, visitors can enjoy the city’s many attractions, including Central Park, Broadway shows, and world-class dining. With the city gearing up for the holiday season, Thanksgiving weekend also marks the beginning of the festive lights and decorations. Ice skating at Rockefeller Center and exploring holiday markets are great ways to kick off the Christmas spirit.
