Make the holiday tradition even more fun with a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Scavenger Hunt for 2021! I created this scavenger hunt to be enjoyed while watching from home or live in person!
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Scavenger Hunt
The 95th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade fills the streets of New York City on Thursday, November 25th at 9:00 A.M. I’ve watched the parade every Thanksgiving morning for as long as I can remember. Even now the TV is tuned to it while I’m cooking for Thanksgiving.
The floats and balloons and marching bands and holiday songs are so fun to watch. Not to mention the grand finale of Santa Claus himself! Yes, he’s in my Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Scavenger Hunt, too!
New Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloons
This year the parade will feature 15 giant character balloons, including a few new ones I listed below! I’ve included several of them in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Scavenger Hunt so you’ll want to keep your eyes out for them!
- Ada Twist
- Scientist by Netflix
- Funko Pop! inspired Grogu aka Baby Yoda
- Ronald McDonald
- Pikachu & Eevee
In addition to the balloons, Macy’s Parade will feature 28 floats, 36 novelty and heritage inflatables, more than 800 clowns, 10 marching bands and 9 performance groups. That’s a whole lot of entertainment! I’m not sure what this means but there will also be an extra special appearance by Geoffrey, the beloved mascot of Toys”R”Us. Are toy stores returning?!
