This year the parade route has been shortened, and instead of the usual 2.5-mile parade in New York City, the 2020 Macy's Thanksgiving parade would be conducted without an audience and that too in front of Macy's flagship store on 34th street. Stars including Lauren Alaina, Jimmie Allen and Noah Cyrus, Ally Brooke, Sofia Carson, CNCO, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots, Karol G, Tori Kelly, Patti LaBelle, Ella Mai, Leslie Odom Jr., Keke Palmer, Dolly Parton, Pentatonix, Bebe Rexha, Jordin Sparks, Sebastián Yatra, Brett Young and more are expected to participate in the event.
