Sinclair Oil Balloon Headed Back to New York City for 2024 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade®

By: via Business Wire

Sinclair Oil, an HF Sinclair (NYSE: DINO) brand, is bringing company icon DINO back to the beloved Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade® this holiday season.

For the third year in a row, a 68-foot-long DINO balloon will float above the city streets as part of the official parade. DINO is featured with a smaller look-alike attached to his back, making the balloon a double DINO feature. Together, the balloon dinosaurs are 49 feet tall and 26 feet wide.

“DINO is beloved by so many generations who remember its past and yet also recognize it as the station icon seen on today’s road trips across the country,” said Fergie Theriault, vice president, marketing refined products. “Our HF Sinclair team and partners, like millions of Americans, enjoy watching the parade as part of the holiday season. It makes us proud that DINO is a part of special life moments – whether watching the Parade together or filling up at a station before gathering with family and friends.”

Information about Sinclair Oil stations––and the 100+ year icon DINO––can be found at SinclairOil.com. Information about Dallas-based HF Sinclair is available at HFSinclair.com.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will air nationwide in the U.S. on NBC and stream on Peacock on Thursday, Nov. 28, 2024, from 8:30 a.m. to noon in all time zones.
