The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade lineup for this year features Ciara, Foreigner, Lil Jon, Kool & the Gang, Busta Rhymes, Mickey Guyton and Teyana Taylor, with additional appearances highlighting Netflix-pop influences and balloons including Derpy Tiger and Sussie.

Radio City Rockettes will celebrate their 100th anniversary by taking part in the festivities.

EJAE released a solo debut, In Another World, and says she does not want to be pigeonholed as just a K-pop artist, aiming to be viewed as a songwriter across genres, with more solo music planned.

Hosts Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Al Roker will return to anchor the live NBC and Peacock broadcast starting at 8:30 a.m. across all time zones.

Viewing tips note there is no public grandstand distribution; areas around Herald Square and Sixth Avenue can be crowded and restricted, with optimal views on the west side of Central Park West in the 60s or 70s, and TV viewing as an alternative if crowds are prohibitive.
