The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is as much a part of the holiday festivities as eating turkey and pumpkin pie.
Watching the parade go by on TV is cool, but nothing compares to being there and watching as the balloons com floating down the street, seeing celebrity filled floats, or getting a glimpse of the best of Broadway with a performance at Harold Square in front of Macy’s Department store.
This year, Thanksgiving is celebrated on November 28 with the festivities starting at 8:30am on the east coast. Tony Award winning Broadway shows “The Outsiders” and “Hell’s Kitchen” will be joined by newcomer “Death Becomes Her” will all be a part of the Parade this year.
Also scheduled to perform are the Radio City Rockettes, Riverdance, Lea Salonga, Idina Menzel, Ariana Madix, Charlie D’Amelio, Liza Colon-Zayas, Tiler Peck, Joey McIntyre, Bishop Briggs, Kylie Cantrall, Chloe, Dan + Shay, Dasha, Jimmy Fallon & The Roots, Coco Jones, Walker Hayes, Natti Natasha, T-Pain, Rach Platten, the Temptations, the War and Treaty, Alex Warren, Sebastian Yatra, Roman Mejia, Jonathan Bennett, Tom Kenny, Ginna Claire Mason, Alison Brie, Ellie the Elephant and the WNBA Champion New York Liberty.
