November 26, 2024

Hey homies,

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! Join other homies this Thursday to watch the Macy’s thanksgiving parade in-person with new friends & old - big thank you to Param for rallying the troops!😀 

Every year Macy’s host the famous NYC thanksgiving parade, which happens to be the 2nd oldest in the country. The parade is famous for its giant balloon lineups, celebrity performances, and broadway shows. Find out more info here

Come join few of our Supermomos friends to watch the parade in person. We will discuss the optimal watching spot and a reasonably early time to try and experience the parade. NYC newbies and OGs are welcomed. Bring out your cameras and your thankful selves!

Official timings are 9:00 am - 12:00 pm , feel free to join at whatever time is convenient for you.


Also excited to share about our new⭐ Decentralized Attendance Taking System ⭐

For the homies who can’t seem to find the QR codes for attendance taking at events, we now have an alternative way to confirm your attendance!

Simply click the QR Code icon positioned at the top right of your Supermomos App and to the left of your momo count, click “My Code”, and ask a few of your fellow attendees to scan it to confirm your attendance (remember to return the favor😊) It’s also a fun way to meet new people at the event :)
