The 98th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has added a number of major new acts to this year’s event. On Thursday (Nov. 14), organizers announced that Kylie Minogue, Jennifer Hudson and Billy Porter will perform in front of Macy’s iconic Herald Square flagship store on Nov.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a century-old tradition, takes place on Thursday, November 28 at 8:30 a.m. and promises to be the biggest yet.

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.

For the first time, two Omaha Nation cheerleaders will be sharing their spirit in New York City on Thanksgiving day. Javianna Chavez and her teammate, Micah Zephier auditioned to become two of more than 300 cheerleaders spreading joy on Thanksgiving day.

Jennie-O turkey brand will display its float at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for the fifth consecutive year.

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.
