Known for its dazzling floats, massive balloons, and world-class performances, the parade draws millions of viewers each year, both in person and via live broadcast. It’s not just a celebration of Thanksgiving but also a showcase of American pop culture. This year’s parade will feature larger-than-life balloons of fan-favorite characters, impressive Broadway performances, celebrity appearances, and marching bands from across the country.
