There are changes coming to the big fall and winter celebrations in New York City because of coronavirus.  The popular Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City will happen this year but Mayor de Blasio admits it will be a lot different.

“Some is going to be virtual. Might be some small in person pieces, spread out pieces. It’s not going to look at all of course like what we are used to but the important thing is the traditions will be kept in some way.”

The mayor says there will be similar changes to the Halloween Parade and the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting. More details are coming in the fall.
