Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade: See photos of floats through the years
Often called the unofficial start of the holiday season, the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will see massive helium balloons floating through New York.
For its 98th edition, this year's parade is expected to feature 17 giant character balloons, 22 floats, 15 novelty and heritage inflatables, 11 marching bands, 700 clowns and much more, according to a press release from the department store.
It's going to be a chilly one in New York during the parade on Thursday, with forecasted temperatures in the 40s and winds around 10 mph. The parade is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and ends at Macy’s flagship store at Herald Square in New York City.
“This year’s 98th Macy’s Parade will create awe with unforgettable character balloons, one-of-a-kind floats and the world-class entertainment only Macy’s can deliver,” Will Coss, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade executive producer said in a statement.
With so many years of the parade leaving countless memories behind, here's a look at past Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades.
