This 98th anniversary parade will feature giant character helium balloons, fantastic floats, marching bands, performance groups, and of course, Santa Claus. Spectators can find a spot along the 2.5-mile route, which passes by Rockefeller Center, to experience this iconic event firsthand.
For those interested in comedy, the **20th Annual New York Comedy Festival** is happening from November 7 to 17, with numerous shows across the city, including Brooklyn. Highlights include performances by Gabriel Iglesias at Kings Theatre and Second City New York’s festival debut.
Music lovers can enjoy the **R&B Forever Tour** at Barclays Center on November 9, featuring TGT (Tyrese, Ginuwine, and Tank) and special guests. Later in the month, Kacey Musgraves will bring her Deeper Well World Tour to Barclays Center on November 15 and 16, with Lord Huron and Nickel Creek as opening acts.
### Broadway and Performing Arts
The city's theater scene is always bustling, and this November is no exception. Catch **Adam Lambert and Auli‘i Cravalho** in the modern rendition of *Cabaret* at the August Wilson Theatre. This production promises a fresh twist on a classic musical.
The **Big Apple Circus** returns to Lincoln Center starting November 8, featuring an all-new spectacle with Europe’s famous Circus-Theater Roncalli making their U.S. debut. This collaboration, titled "Journey to the Rainbow," will showcase feats of juggling, acrobatics, and trapeze performances.
### Holiday and Seasonal Activities
As the holiday season approaches, several festive events are worth checking out. The **Radio City Rockettes’ Christmas Spectacular** returns to Radio City Music Hall starting November 8, offering a festive music and dance show that has been a tradition since 1933. Tickets range from $75 to $347 depending on the date and time.
Visit **Rolf’s German Restaurant** in Gramercy, which transforms into an Instagram favorite each year with its extravagant floor-to-ceiling Christmas ornaments, twinkling lights, and festive ribbons. It's a must-see for anyone looking to get into the holiday spirit.
The **Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s “Lightscape”** is another highlight, running from November 22 to January 1.

Enjoy seasonal treats like hot chocolate and mulled wine while exploring the garden.
### Art and Culture
For art enthusiasts, the **American Museum of Natural History** is hosting the Origami Holiday Tree, a tradition where volunteers create nearly 1,000 paper works to decorate a 13-foot tree. This year’s theme is yet to be revealed, but it promises to be as fascinating as previous years.
The **Secret World of Elephants** exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History opens on November 13, showcasing the majesty of elephants through various exhibits and interactive displays.
