The parade route
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade kicks off from West 77th Street at 9 am, moves south on Central Park West to Columbus Circle, and then heads east on West 59th Street. The journey continues south on Sixth Avenue to 34th Street and ends outside Macy’s flagship store around noon. Visualize the route here.
There are two main stretches of road where you can catch a great view of the parade. Early birds can line up on the west side of Central Park West between West 75th Street and West 59th Street—people start camping out here as early as 6am, but you can show up closer to the start time for a less optimal view.
Late arrivers should aim to post up farther down the parade route, along Sixth Avenue between West 59th Street and West 38th Street.
