NEW YORK—A Macy’s Thanksgiving parade reimagined for the coronavirus pandemic will feature floats, performers, and giant balloons along a one-block stretch of 34th Street in front of the retailer’s flagship Manhattan store, Macy’s officials announced Monday.

The spectacle will be broadcast as usual from 9 a.m. to noon Eastern time on NBC and will include both live and recorded elements, Macy’s officials said.
