Welcome to the Magic of Macy's

Take home the best of New York City

Macy’s Herald Square

New York City

From its inception, Macy’s Herald Square was a store unlike any other. Over the past 150 years, it has become a true New York City icon. Built in 1902, Macy's Herald Square was the first building to have the modern-day escalator, and it has continued to be a trendsetter. Today, "America's Largest Department Store" covers an entire city block with 11 levels of the latest fashions for you and your home. Macy's offers a full-service Visitor Center on the Mezzanine Level, plus restaurants throughout the store and exciting events almost every day.

The World's Largest Department Store

Macy's Herald Square covers an entire city block, offering 10.5 levels of the latest fashions for you and your home. With more than 2 million square feet of retail space, it's one of the largest stores in the world. The historic building was added to the National Register of Historic Places as a National Historic Landmark in 1978.

Santaland & the Miracle on 34th Street Connection

The opening of the classic holiday film Miracle on 34th Street takes place in 1947 and is set in Macy's Herald Square, showing off the store's iconic Santa Claus and festive holiday decor. Today, visitors to Macy's Santaland can meet jolly ol' St. Nick, tell him their holiday wishes and have their picture taken with the man himself. This magical holiday wonderland is a delight for all ages.

"My Heart Will Go On" Plaque

Isidor and Ida Straus, co-owners of Macy's, died tragically on the Titanic. A memorial plaque of them can be seen on the main floor at the memorial entrance located on 34th Street, between Broadway and 7th Avenue.

Original Wooden Escalator

Built in 1902, Macy's Herald Square was the first building in the world to feature modern-day escalators. Some of the wooden escalators are still in use today.

The Annual Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks® show celebrates America’s birthday with patriotic standards and dazzling sparkles that light up the New York skyline in a show unlike any other.  Macy’s works hand-in-hand with the best pyrotechnic team in the business to design and install more than 40,000 effects, all choreographed to an Independence Day medley.

Macy's 4th of July Fireworks® is the largest Independence Day fireworks display in the nation and the single show against which all others are measured. The Fireworks are broadcast live on NBC-TV and has featured celebrity musical performances from world-famous artists such as Beyonce and Katy Perry. Macy's has up to six fireworks barges detonating simultaneously from either one or several locations around New York City. In addition to our 3,000 invited guests seated in the Macy's VIP Grandstands, 15 million viewers tune into NBC's telecast and nearly 3 million spectators view the live show from positions along the river.

 

Macy's Holiday Celebrations November-December

Holiday Windows: Since Macy’s sparked the Christmas window tradition in the early 1870s, New York City’s most iconic department store has unveiled bigger and better window displays each holiday season.   During peak hours, more than 10,000 people pass the Herald Square window display which changes every year.  The holiday windows can be viewed from Thanksgiving week each November to December 26. 

Santaland: Macy's Santaland is a 13,000-square-foot North Pole village complete with live elves, an enchanted forest featuring animatronic toys and a large train display.  Santaland is located on the 8th floor of Macy's Herald Square on 34th Street between Broadway and Seventh Avenue.  It's open daily from the day after Thanksgiving.  Santa  arrives at the tail end of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and stays through Christmas Eve.  Admission is free into Santaland. 

 

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade November

The Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade® marks the start of the holiday season with a beloved spectacle featuring giant helium balloons, floats of wonder, pulse-pounding marching bands, engaging performance groups, celebrity appearances and our special Santa Claus.  More than 8,000 participants, some donning clown costumes, handling balloon giants or striking up the band, set off down the streets of Manhattan at the sound of the time-honored catchphrase "Let's Have a Parade." With a live audience more than 3.5 million strong and a nationwide television gathering of more than 50 million viewers, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is the nation's most beloved holiday pageant.
