"Bringing together people from across the nation to celebrate the start of the holiday season and witnessing the awe on their faces when they see our vibrant, larger-than-life lineup is what this magical event is all about, and we are thrilled to take it to new heights year after year."

For more than nine decades, the Macy's parade has wowed audiences with its jam-packed entertainment, and the 93rd edition will take it to the next level. This year's show will feature 16 giant character balloons; 40 novelty balloons, heritage balloons, balloonicles, balloonheads and trycaloons; 26 floats; 1,200 cheerleaders and dancers; more than 1,000 clowns and 8,000 volunteers; and 11 marching bands.

The Aflac Duck balloonicle is 30 feet tall and 15 feet wide. 
His glowing heart is encased by his heart-shaped wings, and his inner-tube base used to “slide” down the parade route is larger than the size of an in-ground home swimming pool.
