Gaming is making a big splash this year in the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Bandai Namco has announced that Pac-Man will be featured as a new balloon in this iconic event.
The Pac-Man balloon is set to make its debut on November 27, the day the parade takes place. Bandai Namco revealed the details of the new balloon in a social media post earlier this week, exciting fans who have followed the classic game for decades.
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has a history of including video game characters, with past appearances by Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu from Pokémon. However, this year promises an even bigger presence of gaming-themed balloons.
In addition to Pac-Man, it was announced earlier this month that Nintendo will be debuting a Mario balloon at the parade. This special appearance celebrates the 40th anniversary of the beloved Super Mario Bros. franchise.
With these additions, the 2025 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is shaping up to be a memorable event for gaming enthusiasts and parade fans alike.
