The Excitement is Building

New York City is gearing up for the 97th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and it's going to be a showstopper. The parade will wind its way through the city streets, featuring thousands of volunteers, giant character balloons, floats, marching bands, and more. Plus, there will be plenty of musical performances and a visit from Santa Claus himself!

What to Expect

This year's parade is bringing some exciting new additions to the route. There will be four new floats, including a chocolate-themed float with over half a million handcrafted sweets, a retro Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles float, a candy-themed float with a rotating Christmas tree, and a travel-themed float with an RV and outdoor fire pit.

The Stars of the Show

In addition to the floats, there will be seven new high-flying balloons to delight the crowd. Look out for a massive Snoopy balloon, a Kung Fu Panda balloon, a lizard character named Leo, Uncle Dan the duck, Monkey D. Luffy from the popular anime series, the Pillsbury Doughboy, and the first-ever NFT-based balloon, Blue Cat.
