All the free ways you can stream Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
Thanksgiving is largely viewed as a cherishing time of year. Football fans certainly have something to appreciate and look forward to, as well as anyone who merely enjoys to eat. Following last year’s disappointing yet expected crowd-less event (we know we don’t have to go into detail), the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is back in full swing for 2021.
This year, folks can look forward to pop culture franchises. Corporations & brands will gather once again to get their names in front of live spectators while the public is being welcomed back to see the parade’s over-the-top floats, balloons, and let us not forget the live performances from the streets. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is also joining the NFT action.
They’ll be auctioning off ten pieces of digital art which was inspired by inflatable floats of decades past. All the proceeds will benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation. Traveling is always fun, but you don’t have to be in the Big Apple to be a part of the fall holiday festivities. Take advantage of living in the twenty-first century, and learn all the free ways we can stream Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!
