Witness the magic of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade's balloon inflation event, featuring 17 giant character balloons and other inflatables. New characters for 2025 include Minnie Mouse, Goku from Dragon Ball, and Spider-Man, joining favorites like Smokey Bear and SpongeBob SquarePants. The 98th edition of the parade will take place on November 28, 2024.
You see these giant balloons come to life and they're really, really huge, said Stephanie Senkevich, one of dozens of people helping inflate the stars of Thursday's show. You can see them start on the ground right next to you where you look taller than them. And slowly, slowly, they start to raise right above you.
This year, 17 giant character balloons and other inflatables will travel from Manhattan’s Upper West Side to Macy’s Herald Square flagship store on 34th Street, alongside floats, performers, marching bands and more. New balloons for 2025 will feature characters including Minnie Mouse, Goku from Dragon Ball, and Spider-Man, joining longtime favorites such as Smokey Bear and SpongeBob SquarePants. There will be six new featured character balloons, including Minnie Mouse, Extraordinary Noorah with The Elf on the Shelf, Gabby from Gabby's Dollhouse, Goku from Dragon Ball, Marshall from Paw Patrol, and a new Spider-Man. Thousands of New Yorkers and tourists waited in an hours-long line to watch the inflation of 17 character balloons and 15 heritage balloons. The parade will celebrate its 98th edition on November 28
