Up, up, and away! Twenty five balloons will be taking flight as the 2023 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade marches down the streets of New York City on Thursday, Nov. 23. The character balloons have been a part of the beloved parade's lineup since 1927—and this year’s celebration will welcome familiar balloons, along with seven new ones.

Keep your eyes peeled for returning balloons like Grogu, Ronald McDonald, Bluey and Stuart The Minion, while Beagle Scout Snoopy, Blue Cat & Chugs, Kung Fu Panda’s Po, Leo, Monkey D. Luffy, Pillsbury Doughboy and Uncle Dan will all be making their debut at the 97th Macy’s Parade. The festivities begin at 8:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day.
