The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade tradition continues this year live from 34th Street, but the department store giant has reimagined their celebration to kick off the holidays more safely this year.
The parade will be broadcasted on NBC 9am-noon for all of America to enjoy from their homes. This cherished American tradition will feature many of the floats, balloons, and entertainers that viewers have come to love.
In order to avoid gathering large crowds of spectators along the traditional 2.5-mile route in New York City, they have shortened the route to focus solely on the last section. On Thanksgiving Day, they will showcase the annual celebration’s signature balloons, floats, performances and herald the arrival of Santa Claus, in front of Macy’s famed flagship store.
"Macy's believes in celebration and the joy of marking milestone moments with family and friends. The Macy's Parade is our love letter and gift to the City of New York and the nation. Under the unique challenges of these unparalleled times, we felt it was important to continue this cherished holiday tradition that has been the opening act to the holiday season for generations of families," said Susan Tercero, executive producer of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. "While it will certainly look different in execution, this year's Macy's Parade celebration will once again serve its historical purpose — to bring joy into the hearts of millions across the nation."
Macy’s stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day. This year, they encourage customers to shop on macys.com and through the Macy’s mobile app.
