Everything you need to know about the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Come what may on Thanksgiving, New Yorkers are in for one of the city's most beloved traditions: The 92nd annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Here's our guide to the big day:

How will the forecast affect the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade?

So. The National Weather Service predicts a 26 degree Thanksgiving day, with wind speeds up to 29 MPH. It's a lot, but if the balloon effigies of Goku, Toothless and Spider-Man are to live up to their models' courage, they're going to have to be brave! The NYPD will closely monitor temperatures and wind speeds. If it goes past 34 MPH, they'll ground the massive balloons to float another day. So, yeah, maybe wear your fancy gloves.
