Now that Thanksgiving is here, it’s time for one of the largest celebrated parades in the US: the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. So while you wait to start your Black Friday shopping, you can kick back and enjoy the show.
This is my favorite part of Thanksgiving Day; I always look forward to seeing the floats, balloons and performances each year. This year’s broadcast includes a few small tweaks to the Thanksgiving Day typical agenda. Expect an earlier start time (see below), and some additional camera angles, but otherwise, the parade will function the same way it has for years. It will feature classic parade staples, like live performances from popular artists, floats, marching bands and Broadway performances.
If you’re a fan like me, or if you’re just looking to kill time while cooking Thanksgiving dinner, you’re in luck, as it will be pretty easy to stream the parade. Regardless of whether you plan to watch the festivities live in New York City or from the comfort (and warmth) of your own home, here’s everything you’ll need to know.
