S.D. Tourism float will appear in Macy’s parade

Nov. 21, 2018

South Dakota’s famous faces will make their ninth trip to New York City for an appearance in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The Mount Rushmore American Pride float is expected to be seen by up to 50 million viewers and 3 million spectators.

“We always have great interest from people after they see the float, and it seems to make South Dakotans proud and excited to have their state represented in such a large way with the national and international attention,” according to the Department of Tourism.

Country artist Kane Brown will appear on this year’s float.

Sioux Falls, as always, will be represented in the parade through Raven Industries, which designs and manufactures many of the balloons through its Aerostar division.

The parade will air on NBC between 9 a.m. and noon in all time zones.
