🎈 WHAT’S PUMPING? 🎈 Today, Macy’s famous giant balloons and floats will make their annual trip to the Upper West Side for the Balloon Inflation & Float Viewing! The entrance opens at noon, and will remain open until 6pm this evening.

⭐️ SEE YOU ON THE GREEN! ⭐️ Macy’s rolled out the green carpet last night in the next step of preparations for the Parade! Adding to the excitement, several more production trucks have been parked in Herald Square and NBC has added more to its compound! Next stop: rehearsals!

Plus, NBC has begun to set up their compound for the official broadcast, and several production trucks are rolling in as we speak…it’s beginning to look a lot like Thanksgiving! #macysparade

🦃 THE BIRD IS ON THE PERCH 🦃 Late last night, Tom Turkey flew in from his home in Hollywood and landed on the newly-erected memorial marquee at Macy’s Herald Square!

@CrispyFrise Hey now easy there champ

@MacysParadeWiki "The original garfield is gone"

This is something only someone like me would gaf about, but what happens to retired parade balloons. Does Macy's just throw them away or store them in their warehouse. If so does this mean there's a chance that both of the garfield balloons are still around

Oh yeah this one's popping off

please stop comparing "substantial" politicians to the balloons :(
