Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Gets A Championship Upgrade With The NY Liberty
The 2024 WNBA Champion New York Liberty will bring their championship energy to the iconic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this year. Fans of New York City’s only champions can expect to see familiar faces from the Liberty, including their mascot, Ellie the Elephant, this time in the NY Liberty Thanksgiving Parade, twice in as many months.
Where will the NY Liberty appear in the Thanksgiving Day Parade?
This year’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will feature the Liberty on the “Gift of Freedom” float. This is inspired by New York’s most iconic symbol: the Statue of Liberty. The float will showcase a recreation of Lady Liberty’s torch-bearing hand. It will make it a perfect backdrop for the team’s celebratory appearance.
Also, Liberty’s presence at the parade comes just weeks after their ticker-tape parade in Manhattan, celebrating their historic WNBA championship win. In a thrilling Game 5 at the Barclays Center against the Minnesota Lynx, they won their first-ever WNBA championship.
How to watch Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
For those wondering how to catch the Liberty in action, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade kicks off at 8:30 a.m. ET on November 28. NBC will provide national coverage, so you can watch from anywhere.
