The video was apparently taken by someone at the parade. It's a good way to (virtually) see and hear the parade through the eyes and ears of someone in New York City - without the commercials and commentary that go with the televised coverage.

Look for Big Bird, Dora the Explorer, a Pokemon (I think), Mr. Potato Head - or a near cousin, Ronald McDonald (flying rather low), Garfield (even lower), titanic candy canes: and what I think are the original Macy's parade mascots.

Macy's 2009 parade page, so far, is http://social.macys.com/parade2009/. They change the address from year to year, it seems: but as of today, this one still works. Lively music!
