Macys-ParadeMercyMe will appear in the 89th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, live from New York City on NBC. The parade will air from 9 a.m. to noon on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26. MercyMe will be joined by other notable acts, including Mariah Carey, Cirque du Soleil and Pat Benatar.

Prior to the parade, MercyMe will perform at Atlanta’s Annual Great Tree Lighting at Macy's Buckhead Lenox store before a crowd of nearly 45,000. The event will be broadcast live on WSB Atlanta, an ABC affiliate, with subsequent replays during Thanksgiving weekend.

The Christmas season started early for MercyMe this year when MercyMe, It’s Christmas!, the band’s second Christmas album, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Holiday Albums chart. The group's hit single “Flawless” continues its 11-week No. 1 streak atop the Billboard Christian AC chart, while also topping the Billboard National Christian Audience chart.

After concluding its Greater Than tour in mid-November, the group plans to perform a special run of Christmas shows. For the touring schedule, visit mercyme.org/tour.
