The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is as big of a tradition as the holiday itself, and one of the most exciting parts of the annual event is the number of balloons and floats that take the streets of New York by storm as the parade makes its march across Midtown.

From colorful displays and beautiful themes with performers keeping the show going, to massive tributes to classic characters flying through the sky, the balloons and floats are arguably what makes the parade such a festive event.
