The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade kicks off its 98th march through the streets of New York City on Nov. 28, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. ET. The annual holiday tradition involves a thrilling barrage of massive balloons, celebrity appearances, fantastical floats, and marching bands, offering plenty of spectacle to accompany your festive feasts and family get-togethers.
This year, there'll be 22 balloons, with the introduction of new balloons inspired by the Elf on the Shelf, Dragon Ball Z, Spider-Man, and Paw Patrol. Plus, Bluey favorites Janet and Rita (Bluey and her sister Bingo in their "grannies" personas) will have their own balloon car, sure to fill fans of the Aussie animated series with glee.
Among the big names performing are Frozen and Wicked star Idina Menzel, The Bear's Liza Colón-Zayas, rapper T-Pain, pop goddess Kylie Minogue, and WNBA Champions New York Liberty and their mascot Ellie the Elephant.
Todayshow anchors Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Al Roker will host at-home audiences on NBC during the 2.5-mile parade. If you don't have cable, don't worry; you can still keep the tradition alive via streaming. Here's what you need to know to tune in live.

Or, you can sign up to get $1.99/month for 6 months. This may be your best bet for watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade for a steal.
