Move over Macy’s, there’s another Thanksgiving parade that’s painting the sky this holiday season: St. Kevin Catholic Academy in Flushing, Queens, held its first ever balloon parade on November 27.
The students were inspired after reading the book ‘Balloons Over Broadway,” a true story about the puppeteer who created the first balloons for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Pupils and faculty alike said the celebration was the perfect kickoff for the season of giving. While this is the first time the balloon parade sailed through St. Kevin, the catholic academy wants to keep the tradition going, making it bigger and better in the years to come.
