1 There will be fabulous Broadway performers
After more than a year without the Great White Way, it will be extra special to see performances from some of Broadway’s hottest shows as they make their triumphant return to the stage. This year, the casts of Tony-winner Moulin Rouge! The Musical, and SIX — a modern twist on the six wives of King Henry VIII, which opened right before the struck — will perform, as well as the stars of long-running Broadway hit Wicked.

Another new float comes from NBC streaming service Peacock. The “Birds of a Feather Stream Together” float will feature the main cast of Peacock’s musical comedy Girls 5eva — Sara Bareilles, Busy Philipps, Paula Pell, and Renée Elise Goldsberry. This float will also be the first ever to offer its own live feed, with cameras on the front and back giving viewers an on-the-ground look at what it’s like to be part of the festivities. Don’t Turn That Channel: The National Dog Show is right after the parade!

4 There s a Baby Yoda balloon
This year’s 15-balloon lineup includes several newcomers: Grogu, more commonly known as Baby Yoda, from the hit spinoff series The Mandalorian; Ada Twist, Scientist, the main character of the best-selling children’s book-turned-animated Netflix series; and Pokémon characters Pikachu and Eevee. And Macy’s new holiday mascot, Tiptoe the blue reindeer, will become the first-ever balloon puppet to march the parade route. Don’t Miss This: 5 Grab the tissues for the joyful return of America s finest marching bands
High school and college marching bands from across the country are usually some of the most fun performers to watch because of the way their excitement shines through, but last year the parade recruited only local bands in order to reduce COVID risk.
This year, however, a cross-section of America’s most outstanding bands will perform once again, including the Ann Richards Marching Stars of Austin, Texas, the only all-female competitive marching band in the country, and Trabuco Hills High School’s Thundering Mustangs, who are making their Macy’s Parade debut all the way from Mission Viejo, California.
