Macaroni KID, in partnership with the Glen Rock Rec Board, is absolutely THRILLED to announce our very first York County Kids Thanksgiving Balloon Parade on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, at 10:00 AM!What Exactly IS a Kids Thanksgiving Balloon Parade?
Think Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, but designed just for kids ages 1-17 with colorful kid created balloon "floats" bobbing down the street, and beaming faces everywhere you look.
Here's how your children, ages 1-17 years, participate in this inaugural celebration:
🎈 Create a "Balloon Float" – Let those creative juices flow! Kids can craft their own spectacular balloon creations or purchase a special balloon to showcase
🎈 Strut yourself in your favorite inflatable costume!
🎈 Decorate Everything That Rolls – Strollers, wagons, mobility aids – if it moves, it can be parade-ready!
Then comes the BEST part – join us at 10 am on November 26 as we marching down the rail trail with our balloon masterpieces while parents and spectators line the route, cheering them on with the biggest, brightest smiles you've ever seen! Once your child arrives at the end of the route all participates will receive a special treat bag at the finish line! This is going to be one thanksgiving tradition you'll never forget! Mark your calendars, start planning those balloon creations, and get ready for a parade that's all about celebrating our amazing kids. We can't wait to see you there!
