The New Inflatables and New Floats For Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

There will be six new character balloons as well as six new floats that will debut in this years parade and we are excited for what we will be getting. For the six new inflatables we will be getting Minnie Mouse, Noorah & The Elf on the Shelf, Gabby by DreamWorks, Goku, Spider-Man and Marshall from Paw Patrol. We are really excited to see Minnie Mouse in the parade! The floats will include Candy Cosmos by Haribo; Dora’s Fantastical Rainforest by Nickelodeon & Paramount; Magic Meets the Seas by Disney Cruise Line; Pasta Knight by Rao’s Homemade; Masterfeast by Netflix; and Wondrous World of Wildlife by Bronx Zoo. So many good ones, but Haribo should be putting together a wonderful float and we are looking forward to that.

High-Flying Inflatables

Since their 1927 debut, Macy’s Parade’s larger-than-life character balloons have delighted fans of all ages as they take to the skies and soar down the streets of New York City on Thanksgiving morning. A collaborative effort between Macy’s Studios artisans and partners, these iconic creations average more than six months to bring these beloved characters to life.

This year, six new featured character balloons will debut, including Disney’s Minnie Mouse by The Walt Disney Company; Extraordinary Noorah(TM) & The Elf on the Shelf(R) by The Lumistella Company; Gabby by DreamWorks Animation; Goku by Dragon Ball/Toei Animation; Marshall by Nickelodeon(TM) and Spin Master(R); and Spider-Man by Marvel.

In the months leading up to the Macy’s Parade, the skilled artisans at Macy’s Studios – a design and production facility that includes carpenters, engineers, electricians, painters, animators, balloon technicians, sculptors, metal fabricators, and scenic and costume designers – conceive, design and engineer fantastical floats that feature thrilling effects and whimsical animations that inspire joy and excitement.

This year six new floats will debut in the Macy’s Parade including Candy Cosmos by Haribo; Dora’s Fantastical Rainforest by Nickelodeon & Paramount; Magic Meets the Seas by Disney Cruise Line; Pasta Knight by Rao’s Homemade; Masterfeast by Netflix; and Wondrous World of Wildlife by Bronx Zoo. New specialty units for the 2024 Macy’s Parade include Strikes Again by Go Bowling!(TM); The Garriage by Nickelodeon, a whimsical carriage modeled after SpongeBob’s pet snail; and The Grannies Car from BBC Studios’ Bluey. Towed by Ram Trucks, the official truck of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the debuting floats will join a lineup of fan favorites including Santa’s Sleigh. Universal’s Merry Moment by Universal Orlando Resort, complete with stilt walkers, drums and dancers will also delight crowds.
