PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The 30th Annual My Macy’s Parade was held downtown Saturday afternoon.

Keeping with tradition, it was a star-studded affair as America’s sweetheart Jackie Evancho sang to kick-off the festivities.

There were also appearances by “True Blood” regular and Carnegie Mellon University graduate Joe Manganiello.

Even the Pirate Parrot braved the cold to join in the fun.
