The full 2018 Macy's Thanksgiving Parade filmed from Columbus Circle.
I also recorded this parade in 360. You may view it here: • 4K 360° NYC : Ful...
From Wikipedia:
"The annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, the world's largest parade, is presented by the U.S. based department store chain Macy's. The parade started in 1924, tying it for the second-oldest Thanksgiving parade in the United States with America's Thanksgiving Parade in Detroit (with both parades being four years younger than Philadelphia's Thanksgiving Day Parade). The three-hour parade is held in Manhattan from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Thanksgiving Day, and has been televised nationally on NBC since 1952. Employees at Macy's department stores have the option of marching in the parade."

This is the BEST way to watch the parade. I felt as if I was standing in your spot! Thank you for this as I'm sure it was freezing for you.

Thank you so much for showing the Thanksgiving Day parade. It was really awesome and I enjoyed every minute of it. The opportunity to see it a second time was fun. I appreciate what you have done. You do a great job at showing us New York City. I remember walking a little bit of Manhatten near the Rockefeller Center area and eating under the sidewalk where you can see the skating rink through the windows.

Are the bleachers open to anyone? or can you tell me who to contact? We will be attending for the first time this year & THIS SPOT looks like the best viewing location EVER!!

These bleachers were only available to people with tickets from the mayor’s office. I got lucky and was able to snag a pair 😃

ActionKid Is their a site that I can get the tickets from? Do I need to go inside the mayors office? I’m going with someone who has been wanting to see it live for a very long time and for sure this seams like a very nice location that isn’t too crowded.

I much rather watch these much more grounded videos of the parade than the NBC broadcast, the broadcast is so commercialized, celebrities lip syncing and every float and balloon has to have a whole ad along with it. These much more grounded videos show that to the spectators, it's just a really cool and fun parade, that's all!

I love this parade, but I live in Mardi Gras country in Mobile, Alabama and there should NEVER be a break in music. Macy's should have enough marching bands and musical cars and floats so that NONE of the floats have to roll by without music. Sorry. Being raised at Mardi Gras and seeing thousanda of parades have made me think like that.
