The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is set to dazzle viewers with a star-studded lineup of performers this year. The parade, a beloved holiday tradition, will kick off at 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 28 in all time zones.

Among the notable performers scheduled to appear are actor-singer Jennifer Hudson, dance music icon Kylie Minogue, and Broadway star Billy Porter. They will be joined by Cynthia Erivo, Cole Escola, Ariana Madix, Idina Menzel, T-Pain, members of the New York Liberty, and Dan + Shay.

Music acts set to take the stage include The War and Treaty, Lea Salonga, Kylie Cantrall, The Temptations, Chlöe, Charli D’Amelio, and many more. The parade will also feature 17 giant character balloons, 22 floats, 15 novelty and heritage inflatables, 11 marching bands, 700 clowns, and 10 performance groups.

Viewers can catch the parade on NBC and Peacock, with hosts Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Al Roker. A Spanish language simulcast on Telemundo will be hosted by Carlos Adyan and Andrea Meza.

Broadway will be well-represented with performances from “Death Becomes Her,” “Hell’s Kitchen,” “The Outsiders,” Radio City Rockettes, and “Riverdance” dancers. The parade promises to be a festive extravaganza that marks the beginning of the holiday season.
