Officers carrying assault rifles and walking bomb-sniffing dogs lined the route at this year's Macyâs Thanksgiving Day Parade Thursday in New York City. The parade stepped off at around 9 a.m. after a performance from The Muppets. 1  Officials parked more than 80 sand-filled sanitation trucks at intersections and other spots along the route to serve as barriers against any kind of possible attack. 2  This yearâs three-hour event marked 90 parades, but not in a row. The Macyâs parade started in 1924 but was put on hold during World War II, when commodities like helium and rubber were in short supply. Sixteen character balloons, 27 novelty/ornament balloons, 26 floats, 1,100 cheerleaders and dancers, more than 1,000 clowns and 16 marching bands and performance groups made their way down the 2.5-mile parade route.
