What Is the Macy's Parade Order?
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade order is the official sequence of floats, marching bands, balloons, and performances that appear in the televised event each year. The order is planned months in advance by Macy's and broadcast partners, and it determines when each group appears along the route.
Typical Sequence of the Parade
The parade usually begins with opening performances and celebrity hosts, followed by large character balloons, then floats, marching bands, and dance groups. Santa Claus traditionally closes the parade, signaling the start of the holiday season. Exact times can vary by year.
