The 98th version of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade was nearly as good as ever.
I’ve watched the parade for so long as I can bear in mind, and it’s hardly ever rained. However Thursday, from starting to finish, it was one wet journey as Al Roker, Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb guided viewers via the hours-long present, full of so many floats, pretty performances and tons of iconic balloons.
Honestly, I held my breath, hoping that nothing drastic would occur throughout the parade, and I’m proud to say that exterior of a temporary Bluey balloon snafu, all was effectively. (Though Cynthia Erivo settled Depraved’s singing debate throughout a mid-parade look, and a few of us is perhaps distraught about that.) Amazingly, a couple of courageous photogs captured some superior raindrop-filled pictures it’s essential see.
Right here’s 13 wet photos from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade:
