For more than three decades, Tom Turkey has led the brigade of floats in America's most beloved parade. Always ready for a celebration, Tom, at 21 feet high and 20 feet wide, sports some seriously fashionable plumage. He traditionally greets the crowd by bobbing his head and flapping his wings.

Float Facts: Parade floats are created by a team of animators, carpenters, painters and electricians, who work year-round on every float design.
