2014's parade
According to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade website, SpongeBob will again join the lineup of giant character balloons this year.

SpongeBob made his debut in the parade in 2004 and, with the exception of 2007, has appeared every year since. In 2013 the original balloon was retired and replaced with the current Santa hat design. Check out our Macy's page for more trivia and clips of SpongeBob's past appearances in the parade.

Thanksgiving falls on November 24th this year, so tune in then to see SpongeBob make his way through the streets of NYC.

That doesn't surprise me or strike me as newsworthy, really. Spongebob has become a Macy's staple, kind of like Snoopy and Sesame Street.

I'm not American, but I can tell a hallmark of American culture when I see it. Glad to see SpongeBob still floating in the MTD parade after all these years.

I think we should be glad there is a Angry Birds balloon as well.

The only good balloon.
I'd be happy to see this too.

Anyways, I haven't really spotted the SpongeBob float. I may gaze at some parts, but I don't know. I'm not sure if I seen the float on TV before.

Am I the only one who misses the original balloon? The new one is just, kinda off. Like it's a newer looking SpongeBob used for the design.
The original is better!

Glad to see our favorite yellow guy in the parade yet again.

Isn't there usually some Disney character or TV star featured at least every year?(Mickey, Buzz Lightyear, Kermit the Frog, Spider Man, etc.)
