Spider-Man will be zooming down New York City as he makes his larger-than-life return to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this year!
The New York Post announced that Ol’ Webhead will be returning after a decade’s hiatus.
” ‘When is Spider-Man coming back?’ is a question that has been shouted from sidelines each and every year we inflate our helium giants on Thanksgiving eve,” parade executive producer Robin Hall told the Post.
The balloon ran from 1987 and was retired after 1998. This retooled balloon is slated to go through at least 2011.

I am a professional food formulator and could always be found in my kitchen baking pies on Thanksgiving morning, with a cold glass of white wine…waiting with breathtaking anticipation for “spidey” to be paraded down town. Ever since his “shelving”, I have declined to watch the Thanksgiving Day parade. Boycott is not a strong enough term.
Thank heavens “Spidey Lives”. This coming Thanksgiving you know where to find me. Lets all raise a glass to the best float that has ever graced the streets of NYC.
God Save Spidey – long may he reign. Enjoy!
