The very first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was held in 1924. This parade has become an American tradition and includes hundreds of floats, horses, bands, and balloons.
Depends on the size of the balloon.
The balloons in the Macey's Parade are not hot air balloons, they are filed with helium.All of the balloons are designed and made by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.
Macys lost a parade balloon in 2005 and it was Garfield. Macy's has lost a few balloons over the years. Early in the parade's history, the balloon handlers would release all the balloons at the end of the parade, sending them skyward. Macy's then offered $100 bounty on each returned balloon as a sales gimmick. Not all the balloons were returned, and one floated so high it became wrapped around a small airplane wing, causing the plan to crash. Macy's ended the practice after that.
