New York celebrated Thanksgiving Thursday with its traditional Macy’s parade, which was closed to the public last year due to covid-19.
Last year, under the gray sky and the rain, the balloons had paraded in New York in front of empty sidewalks, attached to simple cars. The covid-19 had forced the organizers to cancel the attendance of the public and to limit the course. But as a beautiful sign of fate, it is this time in the light of a bright sun and blue sky, in front of found spectators, that the event which is held each year for Thanksgiving took place.
Joy and relief were on the faces of the New Yorkers who came to attend this great mythical parade. The latter celebrated its 95th anniversary this year. The first parade took place in 1924 and was rarely canceled, especially during World War II. A total of 15 balloons overhung New York, helped by 4,500 volunteers. To limit any risk of the spread of covid-19, while the epidemic is for the moment under control in the city, only the vaccinated were entitled to attend the party. Masks were also in order, especially for the dancers and acrobats who walked proudly to the sound of music.
The United States celebrated this year the 400th Thanksgiving birthday. This tradition dates back to the fall of 1621, when a handful of English pilgrims and Native Americans shared a meal in Plymouth, near Boston. For tens of millions of American families, the Thanksgiving holiday tradition is a traditional meal taking place on the fourth Thursday in November, with its must-have stuffed turkey, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. The historical account of this meal is, however, contested by Native American Indians, marked by their painful past.
