- Macy’s Holiday Parade: This parade is a great way to enjoy the incredible floats from Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York without having to fight the New York City crowds. The parade has many floats from the parade, marching bands, and wouldn’t be complete without Santa Claus himself!
Many of these great events are included with regular theme park admission, but some events do require separate admission for an additional fee. What is your favorite annual event at Universal Studios Florida?
