Stamford T-giving Parade Giant Balloon Inflation Party: Sat. Nov. 17, 3pm

Stamford, CT - The 2018 Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular, presented by the NEW Residence Inn and Courtyard by Marriott and Stamford Advocate, one of the largest parades of its kind in the country with 13 giant helium balloons and more than 200,000 spectators annually, will take place on Sunday. The 25th annual event is scheduled to begin at noon at the intersection of Summer Street and Hoyt Street and will conclude on Atlantic Street.                                                                                                                        

In addition to the giant balloons, 11 marching bands and four floats will process through the parade route. Acts including BMX stunt team Perfection on Wheels will entertain parade goers with their mind-boggling flips and tricks. Alan Kalter will act as master of ceremonies for his 15th year.

On the eve of the parade, Point72 hosts the Giant Balloon Inflation Party. This event, taking place on Saturday from 3-6 p.m. at the intersection of Hoyt Street and Summer Street, allows spectators a behind-the-scenes look at the balloons as they take to the sky. The party will offer live music, clowns and cartoon characters and a meet and greet with Santa. Spectators will also be treated to a special sneak peek performance by Perfection on Wheels.
