At street level, the procession includes more than two dozen floats, interspersed with marching bands from around the country and a number of clown crews among the 8,000 people participating, organizers said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALSO READ:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thedailyleaks.com\/disney-netflix-amazon-tesla-among-social-medias-favorite-stocks-to-invest-in-new-study-finds\/\">Disney, Netflix, Amazon, Tesla among social media\u2019s favorite stocks to invest in, new study finds<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This will be the 97th time the parade has been held since 1924.<\/p>\n<p>The broadcast is hosted by Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb and Al Roker from \u201cToday\u201d and airs on NBC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Historical background<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For nearly 100 years, the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade has been considered by many Americans as the kickoff to Christmas. Each year the beloved parade is viewed by millions of spectators as balloons, performers, marching bands, and floats walk the streets of New York City to welcome the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Nicknamed as the \u201cWorld\u2019s Largest Store,\u201d Macy\u2019s was first opened as R.H. Macy and Co. in 1858 in New York City. Nearly 45 years later in 1902, the store moved to its permanent location at Herald Square.<\/p>\n<p>The Herald Square location, which doubles as Macy\u2019s flagship store and Macy\u2019s Inc. corporate headquarters, stands 11 stories tall and is \u201c2.5 million square feet, which includes 1.25 million square feet of retail space,\u201d according to 34th Street. In 1924, this Macy\u2019s location became known as the \u201cWorld\u2019s Largest Store.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That same year, in an effort to boost holiday sales and highlight the location\u2019s new title, Macy\u2019s employees organized a parade. Although the inaugural parade was held on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27, 1924, it was originally branded as the Macy\u2019s Christmas Parade, according to the Library of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>This year will be the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade\u2019s 97th edition. The lineup for the parade includes 25 balloons, 30 floats, 17 \u201cbig names,\u201d 29 clown crews, five balloonicles, five performance groups, and nine marching bands.<\/p>\n<p>The balloons making appearances this year include some that have flown the city streets before and some making their first appearances. Returning balloons include Bluey, Tiptoe, and Ronald McDonald. For the first time, Beagle Scout Snoopy, Po from \u201cKung Fu Panda,\u201d and the Pillsbury Dough Boy will be flying.<\/p>\n<p>Balloonicles, a word blending of \u201cballoons\u201d and \u201cvehicles,\u201d include the \u201cBaby Dinos\u201d and \u201cGo Bowling.\u201d The lineup for the floats includes the \u201cBig Red Shoe Car,\u201d \u201cHarvest in the Valley,\u201d and most notably, \u201cTom Turkey\u201d and \u201cSanta\u2019s Sleigh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the performers this year are Brandy, Cher, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, and Pentatonix. Also performing are groups such as the Big Apple Circus, the Tap Dancing Christmas Tree, and the Radio City Rockettes. The nearly three-dozen clown crews include all types of clowns, from the Artist Clowns to the Keystone Cops to the Santa\u2019s Toy Box Clowns.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the marching bands who were selected to perform include college bands, high school bands, and Macy\u2019s Great American Marching Band. A band that Tarleton Texans may recognize in the parade this year is the Texas Tech University Goin\u2019 Band from Raiderland, who have the honor to perform for millions of spectators in the parade this year.
