Macy's Holiday Parade & Santaland Begins November 25, 2011

Join as we celebrate with Macy’s Holiday Parade in downtown Seattle. The parade steps off promptly at 9 a.m. and lasts approximately one hour. Macy's signature inflatable floats will make their annual appearance in this Seattle tradition. This year's Parade will include two new train cars for the candy cane express inflatable float and a new rocking horse inflatable float and costumes from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York. The parade will feature 23 inflatable floats, local high school marching bands, over 500 costumed characters, professional sports teams and community drill teams.

The parade will conclude shortly after Santa dashes in his sleigh past Macy’s, heading directly from the North Pole to his Seattle holiday post in Macy’s Santaland, which opens at 11:00 AM. Santaland is open from November 25 through December 24.

That same evening, Macy’s will continue the tradition of the Holiday Star Lighting Ceremony in conjunction with the annual Seattle Westlake Center tree lighting. This event begins at 5 p.m. and will include an incredible fireworks display (weather permitting).
