This Thanksgiving, the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will take to the streets of New York City, featuring thousands of performers and the iconic supersized parade floats.

USA TODAY is providing live coverage of the parade, which will be held Thursday, Nov. 23 from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET and will go on, rain or shine. You can watch it at the embedded video at the top of the page or on USA TODAY's YouTube channel.

The parade hosted by Macy's typically draws in tens of millions of viewers every year, and is a staple of Thanksgiving traditions. It has been held nearly every year since its advent in 1924, besides a three year gap from 1942-1944 to conserve helium use during World War II.

This year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will feature live performances from Cher, Jon Batiste, the band Chicago and the cast of Sesame Street, among others. The iconic floats will return, along with some newcomers including Po from DreamWorks' "Kung Fu Panda" and a new balloon for the Pillsbury Doughboy.
