The only time Macy's canceled their Thanksgiving Day Parade

Over the past century, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has become as much a part of the holiday as the turkey dinner, with balloons serving as the central attraction. Almost nothing in the parade’s nearly 100-year history has stopped the balloons from being brought to life, save for one exception. Not the Great Depression, nor a global pandemic – but rather, when the world was brought to a halt by war.
