Thanksgiving will be a lot different this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but one thing you can count on is millions of Americans will tune in to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
“We will still be doing a live parade on Thanksgiving Day, but it’s going to be shortened and it’s going to be something that’s only for the viewers at home,” says parade executive producer Susan Tercero.
That means the number of people involved has been cut by 75 percent, and there will be masks and social distancing.
There will still be big stars including Dolly Parton, Bebe Rexha and Jordin Sparks, along with 18 big balloons and 35 floats.
This year’s edition of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade kicks off at 9 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day.
