Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2012 Performers Revealed

FilmMagic

New York City's most beloved Thanksgiving tradition will once again include a star-studded, eclectic list of performers. The 86th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has revealed details on this year's grand event, which will air live on NBC, starting at 9:00 AM ET on Nov. 22. Trace Adkins and Jennette McCurdy are the two country stars who will perform atop grandiose floats, joining Carly Rae Jepsen, Flo Rida, the Wanted, Karmin, Neon Trees, Cody Simpson, Jimmy Fallon & the Roots, Chris Isaak and Don McLean.

This year's parade has a new route along Manhattan's 6th Avenue, starting at the corner of West 77th Street and going down to West 34th Street. More than three million people are expected to line 6th Ave to watch the floats, giant balloons, celebrity performers, college and high school marching bands, cheerleaders, dancers and the one guest who's been there almost every year since 1924: Santa Claus!

As for Louisiana native Trace, he won't have to travel far for the gig. The country hitmaker is already in the Big Apple filming "Celebrity Apprentice All-Stars," which will premiere in March.

My brother has been without heat, power and water for over two and a haft weeks. If any attention could be directed to the so many families still experiencing the after math of this terrible storm I am sure the spirit of thanksgiving will be appreciated more than a parade. Could they send generators to those in need, send the man power to those in need... You be the judge

I think this could be good for the economy in New York City since I’m sure that there are people who will want to fly out there to visit and spend money. I think if this were cancelled, it would really create a sour morale across the nation. I’ve already invited my family and friends I work with at DISH over for Thanksgiving dinner. I want to have this recorded on the DISH Hopper, which is my whole home HD DVR that I got a while back. I’ll be able to play the recording of the parade simultaneously on all the TVs in my home, and since I have a lot of people coming over, no one will have to cram in one room, and no one will miss out!

All those poor homeless people on Staten Island, and they're still going to have a parade? They should cancel this just like they did the marathon.

Agree, the parade is sponsored by Macy's not New York City. It takes place in the city not in Staten Island and would not impede any assistance to those poor folks.
