Here’s How to Watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
Thanksgiving is finally upon us, and let’s be honest, there’s really only so many football games or seasonal TV episodes you can cram in before checking in on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
However, thanks to the increasing practice of cord-cutting, many Americans have absolutely no idea how to access the parade, and thus find themselves haplessly watching YouTube videos of past parades on repeat while the cranberry sauce cooks and the turkey gets basted. Let’s remedy that, shall we?
When is the parade on?
The 93rd Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will take place on Thursday, November 28, from 9 a.m. to noon (in all time zones).
What will be in the parade?
Stars, stars, stars! Everyone from Billy Porter to Celine Dion, Ciara, and the Black Eyed Peas will appear, along with performances from the casts of Broadway shows like Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations, Beetlejuice, Hadestown, and Tina: The Tina Turner Musical. The Rockettes will also perform, of course, to get everyone in the holiday spirit.
There will also be the usual array of character balloons, from Snoopy to SpongeBob SquarePants and Frozen, but be warned that wind may ground some of the bigger balloons.
How can I watch the parade?
NBC will air the event live starting at 9 a.m., but if you’re not blessed with live TV access, CBS and NBC will be broadcasting the parade via all live streaming services that offer the two channels. You can also pull up a free 360-degree livestream on YouTube beginning at 8:30 a.m. EST, so you and your family don’t have to miss a minute.
