Kicking off the holiday season in style, the 98th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York will take to the streets on Nov. 28, bright and early. This year, the Allen High School cheerleaders will join the parade. 

During the parade, 700 talented dancers and cheerleaders of Spirit of America Dance and Spirit of America Cheer — including those from Allen ISD — will perform throughout the parade route. 

“Allen ISD is thrilled to be represented by the Allen Cheerleading Squad at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade,” Allen ISD Chief Communications Officer David Hicks told Local Profile. “Being chosen to perform in the parade is a testament to the commitment and determination of our students and coaches. Congratulations to coach Mosely and the entire cheer squad on this amazing honor and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

The 98th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade promises to be bigger and more exciting than ever, with a spectacular lineup of over 5,000 dedicated volunteers, 17 iconic character balloons, 22 eye-catching floats, 15 heritage and novelty balloons, more than 700 playful clowns, 11 marching bands, 10 dazzling performance groups and some of music's brightest stars. 

This beloved American tradition draws millions together each year, weaving the magic of the season through a dazzling lineup of gigantic character balloons, stunningly crafted floats, top-tier musical performances and a grand finale featuring none other than Santa Claus himself.
