A dramatic moment unfolded on the eve of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade when the balloon of Bluey, the beloved children’s cartoon character, popped during inflation. The incident occurred Wednesday afternoon along Central Park West, where crowds had gathered to watch the iconic parade balloons come to life.
Witnesses reported hearing a loud noise just after 2 p.m., and it was soon discovered that a section of Bluey’s balloon—specifically one of its paws—had burst, leaving a visible hole. The sight of a partially deflated Bluey left fans concerned about whether the balloon would make it into the parade. However, thanks to quick repairs by the Macy’s team, Bluey soared through the streets of New York City as planned on Thanksgiving morning.
