Macy’s Holiday Parade at Universal Studios Orlando

From now until January 1, selected balloons and floats from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will be spreading holiday cheer to park guests at Universal Studios Orlando—and no one needs to stand outside in freezing temperatures to enjoy them. Visitors will also get to enjoy street performers, marching bands from around the country, and a Rockettes-style kick line. Santa will also make an appearance, and after sundown there will be a spectacular tree lighting ceremony with music and a dazzling display of lights.

The balloons that are scheduled to appear in the Macy’s Holiday Parade at Universal Studios Orlando include the Cat in the Hat, Curious George, and the signature Macy's toy soldier. The parade is just one of many holiday-themed events taking place at Universal Studios Orlando during the month of December, which includes the annual Grinchmas celebration, a KidZone Holiday Show, Barney’s Christmas Show, and the Blues Brothers Christmas Show.
