Here’s a festive Throwback Thursday photo from 1969! On this Thanksgiving, the world-famous parade passed the Museum’s 77th Street turret with a very special float: a sauropod dinosaur. This inflatable Apatosaurus measured an impressive 60 ft (18.3 m) long! The giant green dinosaur featured big eyes, a wide grin, and a 20-ft (6-m) tail. The original Apatosaurus balloon made its first parade debut in 1963 and was retired from service in 1976.

Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade
Pro-Palestinian Protestors disrupted the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade to advocate for Palestine and the reactions on the internet has been interesting. A couple of sentiments have been expressed on the internet that I think we need to think over for a little bit.
“Don’t bring politics into a national tradition”
Are y’all babies?
This is not a holiday tradition. This is a capitalist tradition in which they gloat over how much they made and remind you to buy from their upcoming sale by creating a parade on a street that police had to clear the homeless people from to not break the illusion for you.
Being nostalgic and refusing to acknowledge its implications is okay if you are twelve. Politics rule your life. Stop running from reality.
“I am all for protests but don’t disrupt normal life.”
Do you have a two digit IQ?
Do you have the critical thinking skills of a two years old?
The point of protesting, is to disrupt normal life. The point is to give the powers to be enough of a headache that they will do what the people want. Protests are first, and foremost, a form of disruption.
I understand that people are seeking their comforts, but when people are actively dying as you speak, don’t you think that maybe, just maybe, stopping their death should take precedence over your comforts when your taxes are funding said killing?

“I’m wearing H&M pants, a thrifted denim jacket, and Macy’s button-up and tie are —clearance, bc they aren’t cheap. The glasses I found at St. Marks at a random vendor. My style is inspired by NYC street fashion and guided by my desire to try new silhouettes and shapes, all brought together by a LOVE OF PATTERNS.”

This was the moment Straw Hat Luffy became "Bucket Hat Luffy" at the 97th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 23, 2023. A lot of balloons experienced tears and deflation because of windy conditions.

Bluey Balloon at the Macy’s NYC Thanksgiving Day parade
I don’t usually watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, one of the unofficial kickoffs to the Christmas season in the USA (I usually watch the Detroit parade) but I’ll have to tune in to see the Bluey balloon this year.

This big Bluey helium balloon was in last year’s parade, and there was a bit of a scandal: the announcers on TV didn’t know Bluey is a girl(!)
New for this year is the addition of a red keepy-uppy balloon.
Read more about the Bluey balloon here:
Bluey Balloon Specs:
HEIGHT: 52 feet
LENGTH: 51 feet
