Tomorrow is the 99th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Here’s a rundown of everything you need to know:
There’s a total of 34 balloons on the lineup including Beagle Scout Snoopy, Bluey, Minnie Mouse, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Spider-Man. New additions include Buzz Lightyear, Super Mario, Pac-Man, and Shrek’s Onion Carriage.
The 28 floats include “Sesame Street”, Camp Snoopy, and “Dora the Explorer”. New additions include LEGO, Labubu, “Stranger Things”, and the tiniest float at just 8-inches tall with to-scale Goldfish crackers.
Performers include Cynthia Erivo, Lil Jon, the singing voices of HUNTR/X from “Kpop Demon Hunters”, Foreigner, Lainey Wilson, Kool & the Gang, and Mr. Fantasy (who is speculated to be KJ Apa’s alter ego.)
It airs at 8:30 a.m. in all time zones, and there’ll be an encore at 2:00 p.m. The entire program is 3-and-a-half hours long. Al Roker, Hoda Kotb, and Savannah Guthrie will return as your hosts.
You can watch it on NBC, Peacock, and Fubo. If you choose to see it on Peacock, there are three different camera angles to choose from. There’s the regular view, a POV from the Turkey float, and a bird’s eye view.
(You can see the full lineup at Macys.com. If you click on the individual performer’s name, you can see which float they’ll be on, like Foreigner on “Stranger Things”. There are also fun facts listed for each balloon entry.)
