Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade on Nov. 26 in New York City will feature a trio of country stars: Dolly Parton, Lauren Alaina and Brett Young. Additional performers include Bebe Rexha, Keke Palmer, Patti Labelle, Pentatonix, Tori Kelly and more.

The pandemic-altered parade is closed to the public and will feature a number of safety precautions for participants, but there will still be a bevy of balloons, floats and street performers along the abbreviated route.

Brett Young: Harvest in the Valley from Green Giant Float
Dolly Parton: Home Sweet Home from Cracker Barrel Float
Lauren Alaina: Mount Rushmore’s American Pride from South Dakota Tourism Float

The parade will air on Nov. 26 on NBC with hosts Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb and Al Roker from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. CT. Mario Lopez will host the online edition on Verizon’s Twitter and YouTube from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. CT.
