As Americans prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with their loved ones, many are eagerly anticipating the iconic Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This year's parade promises to be a spectacular event, featuring a mix of entertainment, music, and vibrant colors, including giant balloons, themed floats, marching bands, and celebrity performances. The parade will take place on Thursday, November 27, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. ET and will be broadcast live on NBC and available to stream on Peacock. For those in New York City, attending the parade in person is a unique experience, with around 3.5 million attendees expected to witness the event. However, it's essential to dress warmly, as the temperatures will be low. The parade route spans 2.5 miles and starts at the intersection of West 77th Street and Central Park West, proceeding southward towards Columbus Circle, then turning onto Central Park South and continuing down Sixth Avenue, concluding in front of Macy's Herald Square on 34th Street. For those planning to watch the parade in person, the city has announced several road closures along the parade route, including some streets that will be closed as early as Wednesday. To avoid traffic congestion, it's recommended to check the city's official website for a full list of road closures. Viewing areas are limited at Columbus Circle and the end of the route. However, prime viewing locations can be found along CPW between West 75th Street and West 63rd Street, on the south side of West 59th Street between Columbus Circle and 6th Avenue, and on 6th Avenue from West 59th Street to West 38th Street.
