What channel is the Thanksgiving day parade on? (2022)
Along with turkey dinners and pumpkin pie, watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade on Thanksgiving morning is one of the holiday’s most popular traditions. From the Radio City Rockettes, to fabulous floats, to giant balloons, and lots of musical performances, the parade has something for everyone.
The parade starts on Central Park West at 77th street in Manhattan heading south, and then finishes the journey to Macy’s in Herald Square along 6th Ave with the final float as Santa’s sleigh. There are 4 new balloons this year (including a 54′ tall Bluey), and 5 new floats — a highlight of which is the new “People of First Light” float honoring the Wampanoag Tribes in Massachusetts.
At the end of the parade route, expect to see performances from over 20 celebrity performers, a dozen marching bands, 10 performance groups, Broadway performances from Funny Girl, A Beautiful Noise, The Neil Diamond Musical, The Lion King, and Some Like It Hot, as well as the iconic annual performance from the Radio City Rockettes.
