Located at iconic Radio City Music Hall in Rockefeller Center, this glittering stage marvel runs multiple daily shows throughout Thanksgiving Day and the entire holiday weekend. Kids and parents alike will be awed by the world-famous Rockettes executing precision eye-high kicks and the legendary 'Parade of the Wooden Soldiers' fall. The show features jaw-dropping 3D digital projections taking audiences on a sleigh ride across Manhattan skies, ragdoll dancers tumbling out of giant gift boxes, real live camels and sheep in the reverent Living Nativity, and an immersive snowfall drifting gently over the orchestra seats. Family Tips: Shows run at 11:00 AM, 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM, and 8:00 PM on Thanksgiving Day and throughout the holiday weekend. Radio City Music Hall is fully accessible with elevators, and complimentary stroller check is available in the Grand Foyer. High-demand holiday dates sell out weeks in advance, so early booking via Ticketmaster or the official Rockettes box office is essential. ## Similar picks in New York - [George Balanchine's The Nutcracker by New York City Ballet](https://grassyknees.com/new-york/activities/george-balanchine-s-the-nutcracker-by-new-york-city-ballet--listing-9c21704fd969a7934e47a205) — Nov 27 – Nov 29 · 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM · David H.
