THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE
For over 80 years, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade® has continued to be the official kick-off of the holiday
season. Every year "the longest show on Broadway" is seen by more than 3 million people who line the streets of
New York and another 50 million people who tune into NBC and Telemundo to watch the giant balloons, one-of-a-kind
floats, the nation's best marching bands, hundreds of cheering clowns and a host of celebrities!

PASSPORT
Macy's Passport, an electrifying fashion-theater extravaganza, brings the best of Macy's Fall fashion and compassion together
with runway performances and extraordinary receptions. The latest trends in pop culture, fashion and music and dance blend to
benefit an important issue – finding a cure for HIV/AIDS. For the past 26 years Passport has raised more than $27 million for
HIV/AIDS research, care, prevention and education programs. For the first time this year the magic of Macy's Passport will be
brought to the silver screen in a high definition cinematic event to be show across the country.

GLAMORAMA
The must-go, must-see fashion event of the season is the hottest ticket in town for Minneapolis and Chicago. This spectacular
fundraiser kicks off the fall fashion season and is a celebration filled with chart-topping musical acts, celebrity appearances
and fashion designers brought together for one exciting evening. But the most important aspect of Glamorama is the money raised
for charity-over $700,000 annually. And it's all followed by the most glam party in town, the post-Glamorama bash host more than
1,800 partygoers and the Star VIP Lounge.
