How to Watch Today in Every Time Zone

Thanksgiving It will look different in many ways in 2020, and that includes the traditional Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. But the amazing holiday is going to happen, and it will still be broadcast live, so the home chefs can listen to it while they prepare. A socially distanced turkey dinner. The show will air on NBC from 9 AM to noon in all time zones. Here’s how to go and what to expect.

What has changed?

Macy’s partnered with New York City to try to make this year’s parade safe, without sacrificing the scenery.

“To avoid gathering large crowds of onlookers along our traditional 2.5-mile route in New York City, we cut short the road to focus only on the last section of our annual walk,” a company representative He said in a statement. “On Thanksgiving Day, we’ll be showing balloons, floats, and our special annual celebration displays and ushering in the arrival of Santa Claus, in front of the iconic Macy’s Store on 34th Street for our national TV show on NBC.”

In other words, don’t head to the store, New Yorkers. Stay home and watch balloons and floats on TV or online.

The company is also working to reduce the number of participants, testing them for COVID-19 and pre-registering shows that are usually live. Participants will wear masks and social distancing, student march teams will not join this year, and the annual balloon inflated celebration will not take place on the eve of Thanksgiving.

A selection of the iconic Giant Balloons will still be there, but instead of being transported by 80 to 100 human workers, they will be transported by special vehicles with fewer people.
