The annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in New York was disrupted by protests over the conflict in Gaza for the second year in a row. Despite the rain, the parade went on with balloons, floats, live performances, and marching bands. However, 21 people were arrested after protesters sat down and tried to block the parade route. They were carrying Palestinian flags and a banner with the message 'Don't Celebrate Genocide' and 'Arms embargo now!' Last year's parade was also interrupted by protesters against Israel's war in Gaza. Despite the disruption, the parade was still well attended and featured performances by Kylie Minogue, Jennifer Hudson, and other artists.
