| Are There Two Thanksgiving Parades In New York City |
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade: The OG
Let's start with the big daddy of them all: the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This behemoth of a parade has been strutting its stuff since 1924, which is older than your grandma's favorite rocking chair. It's a classic, a staple, the Beyonc� of parades. Giant balloons, marching bands, and enough glitter to blind a satellite - it's got it all. So, yes, there is one Thanksgiving parade in New York City that's worth losing your voice over.
The Other Parade: A Case of Mistaken Identity
Now, I've heard whispers of a second Thanksgiving parade in NYC. But let me be clear: there is no other major Thanksgiving parade in the city that rivals the Macy's spectacle. Some people might confuse the UBS Balloon Parade in Stamford, Connecticut, with a NYC parade. It's close, but it's not the same. It's like mistaking a hot dog for a corn dog. Similar, but not quite.

So, What's the Deal?
To sum it up: there's one main Thanksgiving parade in New York City, and it's the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Any other parade you hear about is probably a mirage, a figment of your turkey-induced imagination, or simply happening somewhere else. So, save your energy for the real deal and enjoy the show!
