Balloon Inflation - Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

There is nothing more NY then the Thanksgiving Day parade and the kickoff to the Holiday Season.  A big part of this event is the evening before, the inflating of the balloons. 

I invite you all to informally attend this event.  It runs from 3 to 10pm, I plan to attend earlier, rather then later so I can bring my family.  The crowds are intense so I plan to bring a smaller sketch book and pen to prevent too many elbows.

 

DETAILS

What:  We will sketch the Balloons and crowds informally along the Parade route.

When:  Wednesday, November 25th  starting at 3pm to 10 pm.  Come any time and see the balloons at different stages of inflation.

Where:  Start at Columbus Avenue and 79th Street. You will want to use Mass Transit, the B and C stop right there. 

 

 

Notes: It will be in the 50's and crowded.  Come prepared. I doubt you will be able to sit in sketch as it will be too crowded.   

 

Please post your photos of your sketches!
