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 getting a brand-new balloon debuting in the famous parade.
The Pac-Man balloon is set to appear for the first time on November 27, the day the parade takes place. Bandai Namco shared details about the new balloon in a social media post earlier this week, generating excitement among fans and parade viewers alike.
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has featured several video game characters in the past, including Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu from Pokémon. However, this year promises to be even bigger, with a number of new balloons themed around popular video games.
In addition to Pac-Man, it was announced earlier this month that Nintendo will be debuting a Mario balloon as part of the celebration for the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. With these additions, the 2025 parade is shaping up to be a memorable event for both gaming enthusiasts and parade fans.
