During this year’s parade, alongside the iconic floats, marching bands, performers and Santa Claus himself, the legendary Cher will perform her new holiday hit to kick off the season, according to NBC.
This year's Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is thundering into view. Organized annually by the department store since 1924, the parade attracts millions to Manhattan to witness giant inflatable cartoon characters and iconic performers on floats proceeding along the 2.5-mile parade route. But you don’t have to step foot in New York to witness this incredible spectacle because it's all streamed and televised.
It begins at the slightly earlier time of 8.30am ET with show hosts Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb and Al Roker all returning. Take a look at the timings, route and performers below.
Viewers can expect to see a total 31 floats, 25 giant balloons, 29 clown crews and 6 balloonicles wind through Manhattan, filling West 77th street and beyond with jubilation and live music from over a dozen well-known acts.
Oscar-winning musician Jon Batiste will kick things off, before Tom Turkey – the parade’s longest running title float – shoots down Central Park West to Macy’s Herald Square. Once there, pop legend Cher will dazzle the crowds with hits from her first-ever Christmas album, before passing the mic to the real holiday headliner: Santa Claus himself!
Viewers will spot tons of American icons, both fictional and real. Rock band Chicago will be aboard The Wondership from Wonder, while girl group En Vogue will perform on the float called Colossal Wave of Wonder. Overhead, the character balloons include Kung Fu Panda’s Po, SpongeBob, Grogu, and Pikachu & Eevee on a Poké Ball-inspired sleigh.
