Jazz at Lincoln Center Will Host a Thanksgiving Day Viewing Event This Year

On Thanksgiving day, New York’s Jazz at Lincoln Center will host a special, musically inclined viewing experience of the famed Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Presented by Uplyft and Relix publisher Peter Shapiro’s Dayglo events and promotion company, the Parade Brunch Viewing Event from Jazz at Lincoln Center will include live entertainment, passed hors d’oeuvres, a mix of brunch and lunch offerings, an open-bar selection of brunch cocktails and family friendly entertainment–including live music, photo booths, face painting, balloon artists and caricature drawings. The offering will take place in Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Appel Room and Atrium spaces, which offer clear views of Central Park and the parade route through a 50’ × 83’ glass window; it will also boast a state-of-the art audio capture and broadcast of the parade.

According to a statement, “guests will be eye level with the floats and immersed in festivities from the corner of Central Park South and Central Park West in Columbus Circle. Attendees can reserve seats at shared tables of up to 12 guests and view the parade in the designated viewing area. Tickets include a multi-course brunch buffet and open bar for soft drinks and brunch cocktails.

The famed parade will run from 8:30am-noon, featuring performances by Busta Rhymes, Foreigner, Kool & The Gang, Darlene Love, the singing voices from KPop Demon Hunters and many others. It will also air on NBC and Peacock.
