The Snail, also known as Mr. Snail and the Garden Snail, is a Toy Float from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
The Snail toy float made his Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade debut in 1968.
As the Snail slowly, but surely, made his way down the Parade route, he reminds everyone to "Just say no to escargot".
After making 35 appearances. he was retired after the 2003 Parade.
A new version of the Snail debuted in 2006. This version had a more cartoony look to it, especially when compared to his predecessor. He only appeared in 2006 and he was transferred to My Macy's Holiday Parade in Seattle sometime after, and he would make appearances there until 2014.
The Snail was initially planned to appear in the 2019 Parade, but was later removed from the line of march. Despite this, the float is known to survive at the Macy's Parade Warehouse.
