Typical end time
Most recent schedules show the parade running for about three and a half hours, from an 8:30 a.m. start to a noon finish, both for the in‑person event and the main TV broadcast. The route is planned so that the last floats and Santa Claus reach Macy’s Herald Square right around 12:00 p.m. ET.
