Mayor Eric Adams condemns Thanksgiving parade protesters as ‘grinches’, promises ‘zero tolerance’ for disruptions

Mayor Eric Adams warned potential Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade protesters against causing disruptions, calling them “grinches” and vowing to prevent any interruptions to the iconic event. Last year, anti-Israel demonstrators halted the parade by gluing themselves to the route and pouring fake blood over themselves while unfurling banners advocating for Palestine. The NYPD eventually arrested dozens of protesters, who were accused of disrupting the parade. This year, Mayor Adams promised that the city would not tolerate any interference with the parade and assured the public that security measures were in place to prevent any disruptions. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed that there were no credible threats against the parade. Spectators and participants alike can enjoy the 98th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade without fear of protests or interruptions. The city is prepared to respond swiftly to any attempts to disrupt the beloved tradition, ensuring that the event can proceed smoothly and safely for all those involved. Mayor Adams and the NYPD are committed to protecting the parade and maintaining its festive atmosphere for all to enjoy.
