Thanksgiving 2026 falls on Thursday, November 26, and it is the 100th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade — a centenary edition Macy's says it is marking with 100 inflatables, and which airs live on NBC and Peacock. What Macy's has not published yet is the practical half: no 2026 step-off time, no route map and no public viewing areas are on its parade site, and the route page that carried them in past years is no longer live.
