SAVE THE DATE!
Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular is Sunday, November 22, 2026!
The Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular is the official kick-off to the holiday season on Sunday, November 22!
The parade is one of the largest of its kind in the country with giant helium balloons, award wining marching bands, fabulous dance groups and more!
Join us the night before the parade for the Giant Balloon Inflation Party. The pre-parade event takes place on Saturday, November 21, 3-6pm on Hoyt Street at Summer Street. The event will give spectators an up-close-and-personal look at the giant balloons as they come to life and features live music, thrilling performances and special appearances by Santa, who will greet and delight the crowd.
Talent applications for the 2026 Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular are now closed. Please check back in early 2027 for information on applying to participate in the 2027 parade.
