Thanksgiving Day Parade Large animal-shaped balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, produced by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in Akron, Ohio, replaced the live animals in 1927 when the Felix the Cat balloon made its debut. Felix was filled with air, but by the next year, helium was used to fill the expanding cast of balloons. The first float was Tom the Turkey in 1971.
