Turkey Day is quickly approaching, which means it's almost time to inflate the balloons and start the floats for the 2024 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in the Big Apple on Nov. 28, where a packed lineup of performers will get viewers in the holiday spirit.

One of the most important annual holiday traditions is waking up early on Thanksgiving Day to start (or continue) prepping the family meal while watching the vibrant floats in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade go by.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a century-old tradition, takes place on Thursday, November 28 at 8:30 a.m. and promises to be the biggest yet.

For the first time, two Omaha Nation cheerleaders will be sharing their spirit in New York City on Thanksgiving day. Javianna Chavez and her teammate, Micah Zephier auditioned to become two of more than 300 cheerleaders spreading joy on Thanksgiving day.

It takes 18 months, over 5,000 volunteers, 22 floats, 17 giant balloons, 700+ clowns, and thousands of hours to bring Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade magic to 2.5 miles of fans.

NEW YORK (AP) — The giant balloons may be flying at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, but the stars will be on street. Organizers revealed Thursday that actor-singer Jennifer Hudson, dance music icon Kylie Minogue and Broadway and “Pose” star Billy Porter will all perform, an upping of the star wattage over previous years.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has added some of the world’s biggest music and entertainment stars to the lineup, including Jennifer Hudson, Kylie Minogue, and Billy Porter. Cynthia Erivo and Cole Escola are also set to appear.

Jennifer Hudson, Kylie Minogue and Billy Porter are set to perform at the 98th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, NBC announced.
