🎈 The Thanksgiving Parade Secret Macy’s NEVER Talks About 😳👇
Between 1927–1932, Macy’s used to release their giant parade balloons into the SKY at the end of the parade.
Yes — they just LET THEM GO over New York City.
It all ended after a balloon slammed into a small airplane trying to catch it… wrapping around the wing and forcing an emergency landing.
After that? Macy’s banned the tradition forever.
