Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2023 kicked off on Thursday led by a motorcade of officers from the New York City Police Department (NYPD).
Footage shows huge inflatable balloons floating behind police on motorbikes as the festivities began.
Twenty-five balloons will be on display through the streets of the city, including a Beagle Scout Snoopy and a Pikachu.
The parade will also feature 31 floats, 18 celebrities, 11 marching bands, and six “balloonicles,” Macy’s said.
Thursday’s parade started at 8.30am ET and will end around noon.
