It’s that time of the year again! The Holidays are almost here and what better way to kick start them than the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. This year, the parade turns 90 and will feature three new floats including a special tribute to the first balloon to make an appearance in the parade: Felix the Cat. Classics like Charlie Brown and Pillsbury Doughboy, the return of Diary of a Wimpy Kid's Greg, and a brand-new Trolls' balloon will also be making an appearance. Among the floats, Santa’s Sleigh will be there, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sesame Street, Snoopy’s Doghouse and more will be present.
Besides the fun balloons and floats, some performers are also confirmed to attend the parade. Among the Latinos, Laurie Hernandez will be there, as well as Colombian band Diamante Electrico and the duo Johnnyswim, made up by Donna Sommer’s daughter, Amanda Sudano and musician Abner Ramirez. Other celebrities who will be attending are Brett Eldredge, Daya, De La Soul, Easton Corbin, Fitz And The Tantrums, Aloe Blacc, Regina Spektor, The Muppets, Tony Bennett, and more.
