Thanksgiving is an American holiday celebrated across the country. Although Thanksgiving is filled with countless traditions, nothing has brought America together like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has since 1924.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade falls on Thanksgiving Day every year and is located in the heart of midtown Manhattan. America's favorite holiday tradition is broadcasted from 9:00 AM to noon in all time zones on NBC's Today with anchors Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie, and Al Roker. This year's parade is the 90th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and will be filled with iconic floats, broadway shows, bands, and featured performances. Apart from over ten thousand active participants, more than 50 million people nationwide will be watching the parade LIVE.

One of the most anticipated parts of the parade has always been the gigantic balloons that float through New York City. Here are some of the most iconic and highly-anticipated balloons you have to see:
