Macy's suspended their Thanksgiving Day Parade during World War 2, in 1942, 1943 and 1944. The balloons were destroyed and recycled for use in manufacturing.

Did Macys ever lose a parade balloon?

Macys lost a parade balloon in 2005 and it was Garfield. Macy's has lost a few balloons over the years. Early in the parade's history, the balloon handlers would release all the balloons at the end of the parade, sending them skyward. Macy's then offered $100 bounty on each returned balloon as a sales gimmick. Not all the balloons were returned, and one floated so high it became wrapped around a small airplane wing, causing the plan to crash. Macy's ended the practice after that.

How much does it cost to see Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade?

First-time balloons cost at least $190,000 - this covers admission into the parade and the cost of balloon construction. After the initial year, companies can expect to pay Macy's about $90,000 to get a character on the parade route. If you consider that the parade runs about three hours or so, that's about $500 a minute. Those figures are also from several years ago, so no doubt the cost of balloons has seen some inflation since
