The 2016 My Macy's Holiday Parade will feature 25 inflatable floats, local middle and high school marching bands, sports teams and mascots and nearly 650 costumed characters, community floats and much more! New to this year's parade is a lovable inflatable snowman float and a scene stealing inflatable ladybug float that is capable of spinning herself around on the route. In addition, we are introducing our very first inflatable costumes! An inflatable snowman and an elf will make their debut in this year's parade. The parade will conclude shortly after Santa dashes in his sleigh to Macy's, heading directly from the North Pole to his Portland holiday post in Macy's Santaland.
