Just a reminder that the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade begins today at 9AM EST at 77th Street and Central Park West. The parade continues downtown to Columbus Circle before turning onto Broadway and ending on 7th Avenue near the Macy’s Herald Square store location.

As I’ve mentioned previously before, Buzz Lightyear will make his first appearance this year as a giant balloon along with several other well-known movie characters like Horton the Elephant, Kermit the Frog, and Shrek. The Buzz Lightyear balloon above sure looks pretty awesome.
