Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the parade will be a television-only event this year and its number of participants has been reduced by 75 percent. The performers involved, including the Zetas, will stay social distant and are required to wear appropriate masks/face coverings.

To avoid gathering large crowds, the parade will not march down the regular 2.5-mile route in Manhattan and the parade balloons will not be anchored by humans but instead specially-designed vehicles driving in precision.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade will air nationwide on NBC and Telemundo on Thursday, Nov. 26 from 9 a.m. ET to 12 p.m. ET, in all time zones, make sure to watch and show the Zetas some major love!
