The 2023 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is here!
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will begin at 8:30 a.m. ET on Thursday (November 23), a half an hour earlier than the event usually begins, to fit in performances from so many stars.
Each year, thousands of people gather in person and across the country to watch the annual celebration, featuring dozens of musical performances atop bright floats and massive balloons of our favorite pop culture characters.
The parade airs on NBC from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. in all time zones.
