Balloons over Broadway - McKinley Elementary Thanksgiving Day Parade - 2025 Edition

From Poland, Ohio, it's the McKinley Elementary Thanksgiving Day Parade! Featuring over 100 handmade floats from the third grade class at McKinley Elementary, Thanksgiving parade is a tribute to the book “Balloons over Broadway” by Melissa Sweet. Students were challenged to create their own balloon floats based on the story. Enjoy a behind-the-scenes look with the parade planners themselves as we explore the history and math that bring the magic to life.
