## Trivia

* This is the final Parade to make use of the route going through Broadway, where the Parade had traveled down for decades, due to the city's new pedestrian zone plans. Starting in 2009, a new route was established, now going through 7th Avenue until 2012, when Times Square was removed from the route altogether.
