Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade going virtual this fall due to coronavirus.

, parade events will be staged over two days and"the overall number of participants by approximately 75%" and"all participants will be appropriately socially distanced," according to a Macy's statement. NBC is owned by NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News.

The traditional 2.50-mile parade of giant balloons and high school and college bands not be a part of this year's event, organizers said. The parade's trademark massive balloons will still be in play this year, but"without the traditional 80-100 handlers," instead employing"an innovative, specially rigged anchor vehicle framework of five specialty vehicles tested and approved by" New York City police and transportation officials, according to Macy's."It will not be the same parade we're used to,"" is reinventing the event for this moment in history.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will be radically pared down due to DiBlasio... there! fixed it for you..

NYC doesn't need a parade when it has a clown as it's Mayor in the news everyday. DeBlasio

I hate 2020

Another thing I don’t care about

Macy’s couldn’t tape or show live the high school bands scheduled from their hometown? Why make them wait until next year, hopefully.

Trump’s COVID incompetency has destroyed so much of what Americans once enjoyed.

El Desfile del Día de Acción de Gracias de Macy's se volverá virtual este otoño debido al coronavirus.

Hard to have a parade when everyone has either left town or was place in a nursing home to die.

Nobody cares. The parade has been hijacked by the alphabet people anyway.

Boo! BS

All the taxpayers have fled NYC anyway

But looting and rioting is cool

Nyc is going to shit, along with every other democratic city

Good grief 🙄

😊😊 I watch it every year virtually anyway! I enjoy watching it! 💖💖

michikokakutani What sucks about this is that all these kids worked so hard to be featured and has affiliates all over the country who could record marching bands and send footage. Not everyone will be able to participate next year nbc macys. Boo!

Santa better fucking be there.

Can't wait NOT TO TUNE IN!

No surprise everything has gone virtual.

Macy’s itself is about to bite the dust.

I’m sure this will be riveting

But you can have BLM 'protests'

So many time honored traditions are being compromised. Thanks, Trump.

Hi Man, Would you be interested buying in a complete project on DeFi ?

This seems more like them trying to avoid potential lawsuits than anything else

This is fine because sometimes it is a little windy outside, which makes it hard to see the balloons

People can protest or riot but not attend a parade? Dose the virus recognize fun and become more active?

It's always BEEN virtual, for 99.9 percent of people. We don't get on a plane and fly to New York, we watch it on TV! How is this even news?

🤷🏽‍♀️

1% infection rate in NYS & NYC. CANCEL EVERYTHING. Mindless sheeple.

Of zero importance to anyone.

They should go AR.

You can’t enjoy the Macy’s Day Parade because Trump downplayed the pandemic which has now claimed close to 200K lives! But not to worry you MAGAs, there’s a hate rally coming soon to an airfield near you

It would be a nice idea if Macy's would take footage from all the past parade -- from the very first one up until last year. Put all the footage together in date order and then show that on tv. It would be a very long presentation but people would enjoy it.

Well in looking forward to it. I love this parade. This should be interesting.

Good. No need to spend money in that shit hole city anyway. Let them go broke

How is that possible?

This might actually be better for Macy’s. They are on the verge of bankruptcy, and I can imagine that the normal parade isn’t cheap. I don’t know how long the parade will continue.

Can we still eat Turkey or is that banned too?

And I'm sure millions will tune out once the giant Mumia Abu Jamal balloon makes its way down the street.

Why don't they just replay one from a previous year? Nobody will be able to tell the difference

Boooooo!

how sad ... how very very sad... so many things are changing and are so different now..

Don’t bother, that defeats the purpose of a parade.

NYC continues to do the wrong things! No surprise! You elites at NBC can continue to think that Deblasio and Cuomo know what they are doing but you are burying your heads in your asses!

TrumpsAmerica TrumpLiedAmericansDied trumpseconomy TrumpDepression

They could show a rerun on TV and I honestly wouldn’t know the difference.

OhtheHu_Manatee it’s going to be so much virtual fun

LAME asf!!!

When will the Libtard media admit that DeBlasio is destroying the greatest city in the world? When will Libtard voters rise up and admit that he is crushing the biggest economic epicenter in the US, and vote the Dems and their failing ways out of office? It's not hard people.

Do people actually enjoy this... or do they enjoy what it reminded them of?

Okay but why aren’t they just airing an old recording of the parade? stepintoURpower

Not surprising they already have cancelled the New Years day Rose Parade in Pasadena Calif

So stupid

Next announcement from Thanksgiving and Christmas will be cancelled due to ChinaLiedPeopleDied Virus

My favorite part is always the performances from Broadway shows and the Rockettes. Will we get those? Doubtful 😕

Oh no. They’re gonna Fortnite it.

As a New Yorker while Trump didn't do the best job with the pandemic I think we all agree DeBlasio sucks and we have to vote him out for a better mayor.

The Macy’s parade would look like Biden / Harris rally right now so now that I think about it would be sad.

Immunity of Covid comes from attending protest, lets just call this a protest of gravity. Balloons fly!

Really NYC you want to go there AGAIN? NYCMayor NYGovCuomo

I wish they would reply one of the first parades. Would be wonderful to see the history. MacysParade Macys

The Macy’s parade was cancelled due to NYC being an uninhabitable wasteland of violence and destruction. It has nothing to do with the coronavirus hoax.

Sad for New Yorkers & tourists who'll miss the 'excitement' of a live parade, but they can be thankful to miss the 'excitement' of getting coughed on & possibly infected not just with Covid, but regular flu, colds, etc. They'll join the rest of us who watch it on TV. 🦃

FutbolBeisball how long before Zig tweets about this. 3,2,1

Just cancel it. New York is a shit hole now because of the mayor and governor. New York is not safe anymore.

Well I'm not watching this year

Pathetic! BoycottMacysFakeParade

will the baby blimp fly in the sky for all to see why u vote/.a diapher clad infant with cell phone to putin in tiny hand/. in macy's thansgiving parade,make it big for all to see what a moron looks like/.

I seriously doubt that the virus will ever go away even into next year, so going virtual this year makes sense.

I feel the “balloons” should protest until all BlackLivesMatter Don’t inflate until justice is served! Thanksgivingdayparade
