UBS Parade Spectacular

The UBS Parade Spectacular is held in Stamford, Connecticut each year on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. It features helium balloons, and attracts over 200,000 spectators annually, much as with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was created in 1993 by the Downtown Special Services District. Sponsors include Macy's and King Features Syndicate.

In 2007, the parade included balloons shaped like The Grinch and Muppet characters like Bear from Bear in the Big Blue House, Elmo, Miss Piggy; all existed in prior parades.
