2024 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Nov28
  • Nov 28 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
  • Midtown Manhattan

The 98th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade will be a bonanza of balloons, floats, marching bands and much more, with special celebrity guests including Idina Menzel, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots, T-Pain, the WNBA champion New York Liberty, and, per usual, Santa Claus. The parade will make its way from 77th Street to Columbus Circle down Central Park West, then continue down Sixth Avenue until its endpoint at Herald Square. Be sure to get there bright and early to snag a good viewing spot; the best places to see the parade go by are on Central Park West between 75th and 61st Streets and on Sixth Avenue between 59th and 38th Streets.
