The first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was held in New York City in 1924. It featured Central Park Zoo animals, people in costumes, and floats. Here is your question: What was the very first Large helium filled balloon to take part in the famous parade, and in what year?
Wishing you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Felix The Cat was the first inflatible gigantic balloon invented for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. In 1927 Felix was made, and in 1928 he was inflated for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Happy thanksgiving :]
