The Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade doesn\u2019t go off without a hitch every year.<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s largest parade originally began in 1924 and has become the go-to watch on Turkey Day<\/a>. From the giant balloons to the musical performances, there\u2019s something for everyone in the household to enjoy before digging into their Thanksgiving dinner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The parade started with Macy\u2019s employees walking to the store\u2019s first location at Herald Square. The tradition was suspended from 1942 to 1944 when World War II required helium and rubber, forcing the event to hit pause.<\/p>\n

Since 1952, families around the United States have been able to watch the broadcas<\/a>t<\/a> on NBC. But with live TV comes potential on-air mistakes<\/a> such as injuries and balloon malfunctions.<\/p>\n
