The holiday season officially kicks off in Stamford Downtown on November 24, 2024, with the annual Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular—one of the largest of its kind in the country!
The parade will feature 15 giant helium balloons, award-winning marching bands, lively dance groups, and a special appearance by legendary daredevil Bello Nock!
On Saturday, November 23, the festivities begin with the Point72 Giant Balloon Inflation Party from 3 to 6 p.m. at the intersection of Hoyt Street and Summer Street. This pre-parade event offers spectators a behind-the-scenes look at the giant balloons as they come to life. Guests will also enjoy performances by daredevil and comedian Bello Nock, dancing with Locust Performing Arts Center, costumed characters, and even a visit from Santa!
