As is NYC's annual tradition, the 2023 iteration of Macy's Thanksgiving Parade will feature a star-studded cast of exciting performers.

The stretch along 6th Avenue between West 59th Street and West 38th Street is a great viewing location! But if you want a prime spot, try to arrive no later than 7 a.m. Along 6th Avenue between West 38th and West 34th Streets have extremely limited viewing and should be avoided. Watch it on TV 📺.
