The countdown to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is on.
With Thanksgiving less than two weeks away, brand-new balloons were unveiled at a test event in New York on Saturday ahead of the annual event.
The parade will feature floats, performers and giant balloons parading along a one-block stretch of 34th Street in front of the retailer's flagship Manhattan store.
"We've got 10 marching bands. We have 15 giant character balloons, we've got 20 floats, we've got a whole host of performances, over 30 heritage balloons. It's a spectacle that we all know and love, plus stuffed with a couple of special features, so really excited to be back," Macy's executive producer Will Coss said.
New balloons this year will include pop culture icon Grogu, better known as Baby Yoda, from "The Mandalorian," and two new Pokemon balloons - Pikachu and Eevee - honoring the beloved series' 25th anniversary.
The spectacle will be broadcast on national television.
