America's favorite holiday tradition will once again kick off the season of joy as the 89th Annual MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE returns to march down the streets of New York on Thursday, November 26. Many Broadway casts are taking part in the festivities (including Fiddler on the Roof, The King and I, On Your Feet! and more) and you can check out photos from their rehearsals below!

As millions celebrate the holiday with family and friends, more than 8,000 participants - including clowns, balloon handlers and marching bands - will travel through Manhattan to the sound of the iconic catchphrase "Let's Have a Parade". With more than 3.5 million spectators and over 50 million television viewers nationwide, the MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE is the nation's most celebrated and anticipated holiday treat.

Since its origin in 1924, the Macy's Parade has marked the official start of the holiday season, introducing a cherished march of magic that has dazzled generations of fans. For the 89th edition, the famed spectacle's line-up will feature 17 giant character balloons; 24 novelty/ornament balloons, balloonicles, and trycaloons; 27 floats; 1,100 cheerleaders and dancers; more than 1,000 clowns; 12 marching bands; a host of celebrity performers; and of course, the one-and-only Santa Claus.

The 89th Annual MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE will begin at 9:00 a.m. from 77th Street and Central Park West. The procession will march to Columbus Circle, turn onto Central Park South and march down 6th Avenue/Avenue of the Americas to 34th Street. At 34th Street, the parade will make its final turn west and end at 7th Avenue in front of Macy's Herald Square. A Holiday Treat for Children Everywhere has been the guiding motto of this annual tradition for more than eight decades and is one which continues to this day.
