How high will balloons fly at NYC Thanksgiving parade?
The beloved balloons flew Thursday, but lower than usual, in a windy Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade after an anxious weather watch.
The Macy’s parade balloons might have been kept low, but Susan Koteen’s spirits weren’t. She has traveled from Florida three years in a row to see the parade.Spectators lined up a half-dozen deep along the route on a gusty fall day, with leaves and confetti swirling in the wind. On Thursday, in a windy spot near the start of the 2½-mile route, a Nutcracker balloon knocked into one of its handlers, who fell down but got up and continued walking. A Grinch balloon touched some trees as it passed a corner, drawing an “ooh!” from the crowd.
Joanna Mammen said she and her family came from Bradford County in northern Pennsylvania to see the parade she attended every year while growing up in the Bronx.“My favorite float, as a kid, was Santa Claus,” said Mammen, 69. “Most of the other floats from that time, the kids these days wouldn’t even recognize. But it’s a beautiful tradition, to come out and experience the crowd.”
