New York, United States - November 27, 2025 Video filmed by X user Ed captures an exuberant street-level view of the giant "The Entertainer" turkey float during the 2025 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 27, 2025, along Central Park West in Midtown Manhattan. Historic gray-stone and beige-brick apartment buildings line the route, their ornate cornices, arched windows, and American flags fluttering beneath a clear blue sky. The enormous float depicts a towering cartoon turkey showman wearing a blue top hat with a gold band, a white collar with a golden star brooch, a bright orange beak opened in a cheerful grin, and a sweeping fan of golden-brown feathers draping behind like a tailcoat. The character stands on tall yellow legs atop a vivid red-and-yellow circus-style wagon marked with "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" in white lettering, decorated with red stripes, golden stars, and red megaphone props that evoke classic vaudeville flair. The footage opens with a low-angle pan from the asphalt upward, revealing performers in autumn-themed outfits walking beside the float. A man in a plaid flannel shirt, maroon sweater, and blue jeans waves with white-gloved hands. A boy in an orange puffer vest and white sneakers high-fives spectators. A woman in a maroon vest over a red top smiles brightly, while another man in a tan vest, maroon shirt, and dark jeans claps along. Bundled spectators crowd behind metal barricades, with families in coats and hats cheering, filming with their phones, and waving pompoms as the float rolls past. In the distance, modern high-rises, including a curved blue-glass tower, rise over the parade route.
