Temple University’s Diamond Marching Band already has its Thanksgiving plans for 2025 on lock. The group announced Sunday that it was selected to play in the 2025 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, where they will march the iconic 2.

Turkey Day is quickly approaching, which means it's almost time to inflate the balloons and start the floats for the 2024 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in the Big Apple on Nov. 28, where a packed lineup of performers will get viewers in the holiday spirit.

The giant balloons may be flying at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, but the stars will be on street. Organizers revealed Thursday that actor-singer Jennifer Hudson, dance music icon Kylie Minogue and Broadway and “Pose” star Billy Porter will all perform,

It takes 18 months, over 5,000 volunteers, 22 floats, 17 giant balloons, 700+ clowns, and thousands of hours to bring Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade magic to 2.5 miles of fans.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has added some of the world’s biggest music and entertainment stars to the lineup, including Jennifer Hudson, Kylie Minogue, and Billy Porter. Cynthia Erivo and Cole Escola are also set to appear.

The UMass-Amherst marching band have been invited to perform in the 98th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, one of only four university marching bands selected for this year's parade.

One of the most important annual holiday traditions is waking up early on Thanksgiving Day to start (or continue) prepping the family meal while watching the vibrant floats in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade go by.
