A little rain didn’t stop the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade from taking over Manhattan on Thursday. Floats, balloons, marching bands and celebrity performers took over the Big Apple with more than 2 million spectators watching.

Pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted the Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade in New York. New York City police said they arrested 21 people after protesters sat down on the parade route with Palestinian flags and a “Don’t Celebrate Genocide” banner.

A century after the first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the annual holiday tradition kicks off Thursday in New York City with new Spider-Man and Minnie Mouse balloons, zoo and pasta-themed floats, performances from Jennifer Hudson and Idina Menzel,
