The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will take over Manhattan streets on Thursday with paradegoers, floats, giant balloons, music and more.

The 99th annual parade will kick off its 2.5-mile route at 8:30 a.m. at West 77th Street and Central Park West. It then heads toward Columbus Circle, where it turns onto Central Park South before ending at Macy’s Herald Square on 34th Street, which serves as a stage and backdrop for performances.

The parade will feature 34 balloons, 28 floats and 11 marching bands — all leading the way for Santa Claus.

How can I watch?

Viewers opting out of attending in person can watch live on NBC and Peacock starting at 8:30 a.m. in all time zones. An encore telecast will air at 2 p.m. A Spanish-language simulcast will be on Telemundo.
