At the neighboring Universal Studios theme park, there will be a holiday concert by Mannheim Steamroller on Dec. 5. Chris Isaak performs on Dec. 12 and Natalie Cole performs on Dec. 19. Each concert begins after that night’s Macy’s Holiday Parade. The performances will take place at the new Music Plaza – a brand-new, state-of-the-art, outdoor permanent concert venue located in the heart of the Universal Studios theme park.
The Macy’s Holiday Parade at Universal Studios features the world-renowned balloons and floats from Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. In addition to the parade, Universal Studios guests can enjoy performances by marching bands from across the country, a nightly Christmas tree lighting, and special holiday shows.
