An eclectic group of stars — including reality TV's Ariana Madix, Broadway belter Idina Menzel and more will feature in this year's parade.
FILE - Performers lead the Tom Turkey float down Central Park West at the start of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, Thursday, Nov. 23, 2023, in New York.
The holiday tradition will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 28 in all time zones and will be kicked off by actor Alison Brie, the “Glow” star currently starring in Peacock’s “Apples Never Fall.” The parade airs on NBC and streams on Peacock. Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb and Al Roker from “Today” will host and a Spanish language simulcast on Telemundo will be hosted by Carlos Adyan and Andrea Meza.
“As a little girl growing up in New Jersey, the Thanksgiving Day parade was what you always tuned into and the balloons were, of course, the best part,” says Traci Paige Johnson, the co-creator of “Gabby’s Dollhouse” with Jennifer Twomey. The Macy’s parade has been a traditional holiday season kickoff and spectators line-up a half-dozen deep along the route to cheer the floats, entertainers and marching bands. The parade has lately asked icons to be the last guest before Santa, with last year Cher fitting the bill. This year’s headliner will be revealed later.
One new float will spotlight the Rao’s food brand, featuring a knight and a dragon in battle made with actual pasta elements.
