Multi-award-winning songwriter, producer and hitmaker, Shaggy is set to perform a mashup of his most iconic songs on the Jennie-O float at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade taking place on Nov. 27th.
Shaggy said:
I’m excited to bring some island vibes to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade® atop the Jennie-O float, It’s my first time taking part, and I’m looking forward to kicking off the holiday season with great music and good energy for all the fans out there and tuning in from home.
Spanning an impressive 36 feet in length, 25 feet wide and standing 24 feet tall, The Big Turkey Spectacular by Jennie-O made its dazzling debut in 2020. Adorned in the brand’s signature gold and green, the float sparkles with more than 200 pounds of glitter, capturing the festive spirit in every detail.
The turkey’s tail feathers span 25 feet across and rise two stories high, crafted from enough steel tubing to cover the length of a regulation football field. These towering feathers aren’t just for show — they’re engineered to release bursts of confetti during the Parade.
Crowning the spectacle is the motion-activated top hat that reveals a delightful surprise: baby turkeys, known as poults, pop out to greet the crowd. This larger-than-life float is a must-see in this year’s Parade.
