The iconic parade begins early on the streets of Manhattan, with Wicked: For Good star Cynthia Erivo opening the ceremonies with a showstopper. Today‘s Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Al Roker are back as hosts, introducing the many floats, balloons, and musical acts. Get a taste of Broadway with performances from Just in Time, The Buena Vista Social Club, and the revival of Ragtime, while the legendary band Foreigner rocks the crowd from the Stranger Things float. (That series, if you hadn’t heard, is now streaming the first episodes of its final season.) The talent roster includes 2025 CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson, the voice cast of KPop Demon Hunters, Jewel, Kool & the Gang, Darlene Love, Mickey Guyton, Busta Rhymes, Shaggy, Debbie Gibson, and many more, capped off by the Radio City Rockettes and the arrival of Santa.
For a taste of parades from across the country, CNN presents its second annual Thanksgiving in America special (8 am/ET), with four hours of highlights from celebrations in New York City, Philadelphia, Houston, Chicago, and Detroit. Expect music from Brad Paisley, The Temptations, the Four Tops, the Harlem Gospel Choir, and the Broadway cast of Six, with John Berman, Sara Sidner, and Erica Hill anchoring from New York.
