NEW YORK (AP) — This year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is set to dazzle with performances by Ciara, Foreigner, Lil Jon, Kool & the Gang, Busta Rhymes, Mickey Guyton, and Teyana Taylor. The event will spotlight “KPop Demon Hunters,” a burgeoning pop culture sensation, with live performances by the film’s singers and charming balloon characters soaring above.

An intriguing mix of personalities, including ballet dancer Tiler Peck and Sean Evans, the host of YouTube’s “Hot Ones,” will grace the parade. The spotlight will also shine on Audrey Nuna, EJAE, and Rei Ami from HUNTR/X, the fictional K-pop girl group featured in the Netflix hit, who contribute to the film’s chart-topping soundtrack.

The soundtrack has reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and achieved platinum status. Characters from the film, Derpy Tiger and Sussie, will make appearances as a mid-sized balloon and a playful balloonicle, respectively, adding to the festive atmosphere.

Kicking off at 8:30 a.m. on November 27 across all time zones, the parade will include 32 balloons, three balloonicles, 27 floats, 33 clown groups, and 11 marching bands, culminating with the arrival of Santa Claus. The event will be broadcast on NBC and Peacock, with “Today” show hosts Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Al Roker returning to anchor the coverage. Additional star appearances are expected to be announced soon.

Broadway, Buzz Lightyear and Debbie Gibson

The parade will also feature Broadway performances from the casts of “Buena Vista Social Club,” “Just in Time,” and “Ragtime,” alongside the iconic Radio City Rockettes. Sports enthusiasts can look forward to seeing three-time U.S. national champion figure skater Ilia Malinin and U.S. Paralympian Jack Wallace join in the festivities.

Every year, spectators line-up a half-dozen deep along the route to cheer the floats, entertainers and marching bands. Last year, more than 31 million people tuned in on NBC and Peacock, up 10% from the previous year and marking the biggest audience ever for the parade.

This year, four new featured character balloons will debut, including Buzz Lightyear, Pac-Man, Mario from Super Mario Brothers and a 32-foot-tall (9.8-meter) balloon onion carriage featuring eight characters from the world of “Shrek.”

Ahead of next year’s 100th anniversary of the parade, organizers are also including balloons from previous marches, including Rainbow trout, the Happy Hippo Triple Stack, Wigglefoot and Freida the Dachshund.

Six new floats will also debut this year, including from Holland America Line, Lego, Lindt chocolates, “Stranger Things” and a bunch of whimsical sheep trying to get to sleep courtesy of Serta.

Some of the stars on hand will be Jewel, Debbie Gibson, Drew Baldridge, Matteo Bocelli, Colbie Caillat, Gavin DeGraw, Meg Donnelly, Christopher Jackson, Darlene Love, Roman Mejia, Taylor Momsen, Calum Scott, Shaggy, Lauren Spencer Smith and Luísa Sonza.

The marching bands will hail from South Carolina, California, Texas, Arizona, New Hampshire, Mississippi, Alabama, Pennsylvania and Santiago, Panama. The New York Police Department’s marching band will also join.
