SpongeBob, Dora the Explorer, Marshall From 'PAW Patrol', the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and More Delight Crowds at the 98th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

Nickelodeon kicked off the holiday season in high-flying style with three brand-new elements at the 98th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade® on Thursday, Nov. 28! The new Parade entries showcased popular characters from Nickelodeon’s hit animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, which is currently celebrating it's landmark 25th anniversary, PAW Patrol, produced by Spin Master Entertainment, and new Paramount+ original series, DORA.

Marshall, the heroic firefighter dalmatian pup from PAW Patrol, took to the streets and joined this year’s Parade, soaring above the New York City skyline this Thanksgiving morning. This lovable pup saved the day and delighted live spectators and viewers across the country.

Alongside Marshall, Dora, the first Latina character to ever appear in the Parade, and her friends, including Boots, Map and Backpack, brought the wonders and fun of the rainforest to the streets of New York with DORA’s Fantastical Rainforest, a vibrant, eye-catching float and balloon hybrid element.

In celebration of the 25th milestone anniversary of the animated series this year, the SpongeBob SquarePants balloon was accompanied by a brand-new “Garriage”—an electric-powered yellow carriage drawn by Gary, SpongeBob’s pet snail. Aboard the “Garriage” was SpongeBob SquarePants himself, accompanied by his biggest fan, Patchy the Pirate, played by SpongeBob voice actor Tom Kenny!
