"My favorite Thanksgiving Parade of all times!"
-Jordan C.
What Our Clients are Saying
Loved every minute in the Stella Macys event. Thanks for making our dream come true. The food was amazing. Watching my Mom live out her dream to sing on or with a Broadway professional, the activities for all ages and the kindness Lisa and her company gave and shown us will never be forgotten.
-Daniel D.
Lisa was great in securing all the things we wanted to do. She got a table for us at Quality Italian for window viewing of the Tgiving Parade- it was perfect. We saw a great Broadway show, great seats!! My children loved the early morning tour of FAO Schwarz. Priceless on Black Friday. Thank you Lisa & VIP yours!!
-Lynn C.
We did the VIP Macy’s day parade experience in the Macy’s building, which also included a private before they open FAO Schwartz toy store tour. It was an amazing day my parents, two teenagers and my husband and myself thoroughly enjoyed our experience..
-Carly S.
We did the Macy's Day Parade Viewing at Quality Italian. The location, the food, the staff, the entertainment, and of course the parade were great. Well organized and great communication leading up to the event. We had a blast. Highly recommend.
-B Covington.
If you are looking to experience the parade and have access to a roped off viewing area and not wait hours in the cold and have a bathroom and table etc, this is it.
-Lindsay R.
It’s hard to say what was our favorite part, as it was a terrific experience, overall! Seeing the Macy’s parade has been a lifelong dream, and it was fabulous from this location, and having the sidewalk roped off for us was a bonus! Seeing the balloons that close was simply marvelous!
-Bob R.
From the very early planning stages to the very end, the Thanksgiving Day Event was a truly delightful experience! The representatives of VIP PASS, are to be commended for your superior organizational and communication skills as well as careful attention to detail and general oversight of the event.
-Jennifer W.
Thank you very much for a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!! Everything was spectacular, the food, drinks and the service. Our Family thoroughly enjoyed the day and the front row seats for the Parade. For Linda and I, this was a trip that we have dreamt about, taking our Grandchildren to NYC for Thanksgiving. Thank you all for your hospitality and for being such a special part of the memories made during our Thanksgiving visit.
-Linda M.
Wonderful evening! A very special thing to experience while in NYC. Drinks were great, food was great and getting to see the tree was spectacular!
-Angélica M.
We spent a magical four days in NYC for Thanksgiving to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (a bucket list item!!) and went with YVP to help make the trip a great one. They made the trip not great but honestly expectational in every way possible. Our family of three all agreed that our experience ranked at the top of all of trips we’ve ever taken! I can’t recommend YVP enough and hope to use their services again in the future.
-Lake Life State of Mind
We booked the Macy’s Day Parade event. I was a bit nervous booking almost a year in advance for something I found online, but my worries were eased when I asked a couple of questions as the event drew closer and they were timely and detailed in their responses. They did a wonderful job making sure we had what we needed to get to where we needed to be. The food was great, and the in house entertainment was a really nice touch. Location for the parade was excellent. Highly recommended.

FAQ's
Most YVP events call for casual elegant attire. Blue jeans are not appropriate unless otherwise indicated. If the event is called a “Gala” or similar, evening / cocktail attire is recommended.
We generally provide you with a suggested arrival time if you are booking a private or custom experience. For our ticketed / iconic events, we recommend arriving 30 minutes prior to the event start time, unless otherwise noted.
For our Broadway Insider packages and some other events, you will typically receive your e-ticket(s) 24-48 hours prior to the show. We will keep you updated via call or email. If you are attending an event with us that includes Broadway tickets, we may issue you a paper ticket just before the show, but you will be notified of this in advance. For our Iconic events like Thanksgiving and Tree Lighting you do not need a ticket as we have a guest list, but you will receive specific instructions and any other documents needed to attend in advance of the event via email.
Most of our evening events are geared toward adults, however we can customize programs and experience for families! For our Thanksgiving events, all ages are welcome and high chairs are available. For our Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting events, we do not recommend bringing young children as the festivities begin and end late at night and have adult-focused entertainment.
Strollers and Backpacks are NOT allowed.
Absolutely! At YVP, we can work with your budget to create a unique and memorable experience for you and your group. Whether it’s food, art, museums, entertainment, bridal, romantic, corporate or otherwise, we can pull it off!
We offer a variety of ticket types for our Iconic events to suit different budgets. For Thanksgiving, at Quality Italian, there are private OUTDOOR viewing areas to watch the parade with perfect views. Additionally, there are a certain number of tables available with windows from which you can see the parade in either a partial or full view (specified on the page). At our 34th Street Private Lounge, there are picture-window INDOOR-ONLY views of the parade. For our Tree Lighting event, every guest will be able to view the Tree from our beautiful loft space above ground level from INDOORS. For all custom and Broadway events, we offer ticket tiers and based on the tier you select we guarantee best in house seating.
For privately curated events, we can absolutely accommodate your needs and if necessary, find specific places for you. For our ticketed consumer events like our Thanksgiving brunches, we can convey your needs to our restaurant partners, but because of the volume of guests we cannot make any guarantees.
We do not advise bringing a stroller to any event as space is limited.
