Every year, the Radio City Rockettes perform in the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. Rain or shine, the iconic precision troupe dances for those watching in Manhattan and millions tuning into the broadcast.

For those planning to see this year's Thanksgiving Day Parade in person, here are the ideal viewing spots in New York City.

Emily and Asher Lesniak of West Aurora High School will be part of Macy’s Great American Marching Band that will perform during Thursday’s parade.

America's Thanksgiving Parade, presented by Gardner White, takes place on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27, in downtown Detroit. The Michigan Thanksgiving Parade, as it was originally known, began in 1924, according to The Parade Company, the marketing and operating division of the Michigan Thanksgiving Parade Foundation.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will be celebrating its 100th birthday in 2026. The annual event was actually cancelled for two years during World War II, with New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia donating the parade’s balloons to the rubber scrap heap in 1942 to help with the war effort.
