RATE IT! 2008 Macy's Parade

You don't have to be a native New Yorker to get all excited about a holiday institution, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

This year's festivities take place on November 27 and joining Snoopy, Kermit, Hello Kitty & the gang, is a new kid on the block. Yes, Horton will be soaring down Broadway this year, and there's no telling who he will hear.
