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 the famous parade, marking its first-ever appearance on November 27, when the event takes place.
The details of the Pac-Man balloon were revealed in a social media post by Bandai Namco earlier this week. The company shared that it will be launching this exciting new addition as part of the 2025 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade lineup.
Over the years, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has occasionally included video game characters, such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu from Pokémon. However, this year promises to showcase several new video game-themed balloons, highlighting the growing influence of gaming culture in the parade.
In fact, it was announced earlier this month that Nintendo will be debuting a Mario balloon to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. With Pac-Man and Mario joining the lineup, this year’s parade is shaping up to be a fantastic celebration for gamers and parade fans alike.
