Family Hotel for Stamford Thanksgiving Day Parade

Come join us at Hotel Zero Degrees Stamford for one of Fairfield County, Connecticut’s signature Thanksgiving-time traditions: the Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular!

This happens to be one of the biggest processions of giant helium balloons anywhere in the country, so to say it’s an impressive spectacle is putting it mildly. Get in the Turkey Day spirit of things at this family-friendly event and savor some Hotel Zero Degrees hospitality just a stone’s throw from the parade route while you’re at it.

The 2018 Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular

The Thanksgiving balloon extravaganza goes down this year on Sunday, November 18th beginning at noon. The parade runs on Summer, Broad, and Atlantic streets—mere blocks from Hotel Zero Degrees Stamford. Besides an array of familiar characters in oversized-balloon form, the parade will feature richly decorated floats, marching bands, and other festive features to delight streetside spectators.

Bring the whole family and mark the Thanksgiving season in memory-minting style at the 2018 Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular!

The Parade Spectacular “Pre-Party”: Watch the Giant Balloons Come to Life

The day before the parade itself—Saturday, November 17th—you can get a bit of a behind-the-scenes look at preparations for the event at the Giant Balloon Inflation Party taking place from 3 to 6 PM at Hoyt and Summer streets.

Here you’ll get to see the balloon characters expand into their full glory while enjoying music, dance performances, and other revelry—plus a visit from old Santa Claus himself as well as assorted other holiday figures.
