NEW YORK CITY -- Spiderman and Spongebob are getting ready for one of their biggest shows of the year, as preparations are underway for the 86th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Balloons are beginning to be inflated in New York City Wednesday night. This year's lineup includes nearly 60 balloons, 28 floats, 1,600 cheerleaders and 900 clowns. New balloons this year include Elf on the Shelf, Hello Kitty and Papa Smurf. Of course, the big headliner of the show is Santa Claus.
