Jennifer Hudson, Kylie Minogue and Billy Porter are set to perform at the 98th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, NBC announced.

It takes 18 months, over 5,000 volunteers, 22 floats, 17 giant balloons, 700+ clowns, and thousands of hours to bring Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade magic to 2.5 miles of fans.

Replace theology with corporate-sponsored floats, and that tradition continues with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Watch in awe as giant branded balloons ease us into the holiday (and shopping) season.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is a beloved holiday tradition with a history as rich and colorful as the balloons floating down the streets of New York City. Launched nearly a century ago, this parade has transformed from a modest department store event into an iconic spectacle watched by millions.
