The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is back this year after a television-only 2020 version due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Families will gather in New York City and around televisions to take in the spectacle. Among the parade’s six new balloons is Grogu from “The Mandalorian.” We were able to snap a few photos of the balloon after it was inflated tonight in Manhattan.
