Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade wasn't canceled permanently, but was temporarily suspended for three years in the 1940s, due to the US involvement in World War 2. There was no parade in 1942-1944; Macy's resumed the tradition in 1945.
The new 2.65-mile route came about in 2009 because parts of Broadway have been closed to vehicular traffic, making it off limits to floats and Times Square has been under reconstruction so Macy's officials said they felt Sixth Avenue was the safest route for the parade.
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was suspended due to the US involvement in World War 2, from 1942 through 1944. The parade balloons were recycled and donated for use in the war effort.
