The Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade is a staple of the holiday for many. The annual parade started in 1924 and airs from 9 am to noon eastern each year, only stopping from 1942 to 1944 due to World War II. Each year seems to bring more oversized balloons and a more invested crowd as traditions are carried on and handed down by generations before us.
Many viewers remember watching the parade growing up with their parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles, and friends around the home at Thanksgiving. We share that tradition now with our own children, friends, and loved ones. So, how can you watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade this year?
The NBC-hosted event will air locally on your NBC network affiliate station from 9 to noon. Also, if you can’t get your NBC station where you’re at or you just prefer to stream it, Peacock will make it available on the platform. You can find out more about watching the parade via Peacock here.
