From a two-story sensory overload bake shop aboard the Entenmann's float, to a massive foam sculpture of the Jolly Green Giant kneeling over a beautiful Thanksgiving harvest, creativity knows no boundaries.



Dozens of artists and carpentry specialists have spent countless hours on each float to ensure from every angle near and far audiences remain not only captivated, but inspired to pass this special tradition onto the next generation.



Believe it or not the planning for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade begins more than a year in advance.
