Trot, don’t walk.
Excited New Yorkers and tourists filled the New York City sidewalks early Thursday morning under clear skies for the 97th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
A time-honored Thanksgiving tradition will soon kick off at 77th and Central Park West at 8:30 a.m. to the cheers of onlookers waiting to catch a glimpse of classic balloons like Snoopy and Pikachu — as well as six new floats added just this year, including a chocolate-inspired float by Wonka.
This year’s parade, which typically draws about 3.5 million spectators to Manhattan, will feature 16 giant character balloons, 26 floats, 32 novelty and heritage inflatables, 12 marching bands, 700 clowns and eight performing groups.
New parade balloons include “Beagle Scout Snoopy,” “Blue Cat & Chugs,” “Kung Fu Panda’s Po,” “Leo,” “Monkey D. Luffy,” “Pillsbury Doughboy” and “Uncle Dan.”

Sidewalks from 77th Street and Central Park West the two-and-a-half miles south to the Macy’s at 34th Street-Herald Square began filling up at 7:30 a.m. Thursday.
For those following the parade from the comfort of their homes, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will be televised on NBC and live on the Peacock.
It will also be available as a Spanish-language broadcast hosted by Carlos Adyan and Andrea Meza on Telemundo.
