Last year’s “Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade” was the most-watched entertainment program of the 2022-23 season as it brings the nation together like no other broadcast. New for 2023 will be several additional cameras along the route, giving viewers new Parade vantage points never seen before.
The 97th edition of the Parade will include an exciting lineup of featured giant character balloons, fantastic floats, the finest marching bands from across the country, dynamic performance groups, imaginative clowns, the nation’s biggest musical talent and the one-and-only Santa Claus.
