For the first time in a decade, Spider-Man is swinging back into the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! “his newly designed balloon, inspired by and in honor of the iconic art style of comic book legend John Romita Sr., showcases Spider-Man’s classic look and celebrates his New York City roots.”
Spider-Man first appeared in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1981 and debuted as a giant balloon in 1987. The latest balloon honors his legacy, delighting lifelong fans and a new generation alike.
Don’t forget about the 60-foot Minnie Mouse balloon that will also debut in this year’s parade. This adorable addition will boast Minnie’s signature style, iconic red bow, yellow heels, and undeniable charm.
