Every year, the Parade is seen by more than three million people who line the streets of New York and another 50 million people who tune into NBC to watch the giant balloons, one-of-a-kind floats, the nation's best marching bands, hundreds of cheering clowns and a host of celebrities! You'll have free time in NYC to see the parade and sightsee.

The parade starts at 9 AM. The bus will depart from NYC at 3 PM so you will be home in plenty of time for your Thanksgiving meal with family and friends!

You will be on your own to find a space along the route where you can view the parade. The parade begins at 77th Street and Central Park West and moves down Central Park West to Columbus Circle. The parade then turns onto Central Park South and heads south on 6th Avenue until hitting 34th Street and turning west. The parade concludes in front of Macy's Herald Square.

Frankie Avalon Holiday Show - Wed Dec 4 - If you can’t remember a time when Frankie Avalon wasn’t a part of your life, you aren’t alone. This talented performer can look back on a career that spans three generations of music, television and motion pictures which he feels is due primarily to the loyalty and trust of his audience. Frankie’s years as a teenage Idol have been succeeded by maturity and professionalism. He is currently one of the busiest nightclub performers in the country, playing the nations finest supper clubs and headlining at top Las Vegas hotels.

Frankie has a long string of Gold Record Million-Seller singles and albums. In 1959 alone Frankie had six solid hits that were in the Top 40 and his music became one of the defining sounds of the pre-Beatles rock and roll. With smashing hits as Venus, one of the biggest hits of the era, De De Dinah, Bobby Socks to Stockings, Gingerbread, and Just Ask Your Heart, Frankie quickly became a motion picture star, appearing in more than 30 movies.

Frankie will be warming our hearts and spirit this holiday season with his holiday show. The performance is filled with his hits and the holiday music we all love to hear.
