Dolly Parton, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots Will Take Part in the Thanksgiving Day Parade

5:14 AM EST on November 26, 2020

Dolly Parton, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots are among the performers who will take part in the The 94th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this morning. Since spectators will not be able to congregate in the streets this year and since there is no parade route, all the entertainers, floats and balloons will be stationed within a block of Macy's famed Herald Square location in New York. Other performers include: The Radio City Rockettes, Lauren Alaina,  Pentatonix, Bebe Rexha, Patti LaBelle, Keke Palmer, Hamilton's Leslie Odom Jr. and Jordin Sparks, as well as representatives from The Big Apple Circus and Sesame Street. The festivities will air on NBC from 9am-12pm. 

Fallon and The Roots have participated in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade six times since securing their spots on NBC's late-night lineup, appearing in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2017 and 2019. The Roots' MC Black Thought is profiled in the October_November issue of Relix.
