Do you know…• The UBS Parade Spectacular is 21 years old this year! The first parade took place in 1993.• If we were to stand the 16 giant balloons on top of each other they would be as long as 4 football fields or as tall as 3 Trump Tower skyscrapers!• It will take 24 tons of sand to keep the balloons from flying away – that’s equivalent in weight to 12 elephants! • It takes an average of 3,000 steps to walk the parade route.• 1,500 volunteers will walk the parade route this year, that’s 1,500 miles all together in just one hour!• 1,000 barricades are used along the parade route. If you lined them up edge to edge they would extend from Stamford Downtown to Long Island Sound!• Last year, an estimated crowd of 200,000 attended the Parade Spectacular.• Yankee Magazine named the Parade as a “Well Worth the Drive” Destination in 2013. • The American Bus Association voted the Parade among the Top 100 Events in the Country for 2010, and Moffly Publications awarded it the “Most Uplifting Celebration” for 2006.

UBS Parade Spectacular presented by Stamford Town Center & The Advocate/Hearst Media

Sunday, November 23, 201412 Noon–Stamford Downtown

Please join us at the 2o14 UBS Parade Spectacular, presented by Stamford Town Center and

The Advocate/Hearst Media in Stamford Downtown on Sunday, November 23. This year’s parade

promises to be the highlight of the holiday season. The Master of Ceremonies for the parade will be

Alan Kalter from the Late Show with David Letterman. The parade features 16 colossal helium balloons

and 11 award winning bands including the Sacred Heart University Marching Band, the Butler,

PA Golden Tornado Marching Band and bands from Stamford and other parts of Connecticut

and Long Island.

The UBS Parade Spectacular is recognized as one of the most outstanding parades in the country.

It is a partnership among the City of Stamford, UBS, Stamford Town Center, The Advocate/Hearst

Media, Stamford Public Schools and Stamford Downtown. In addition, dozens of community-minded

corporations and organizations proudly sponsor balloons, bands and floats for the day of the parade.

This is an event you will not want to miss. The festivities start the day before, Saturday, November 22,

at the celebratory Giant Balloon Inflation Party, sponsored by Point72 Asset Management. It is an

extraordinary experience to watch the drama of giant helium balloons coming to life. Many of the

balloons reach heights of 6o feet! New balloons this year include Abby Cadabby and Shrek. And, the

Inflation Party features performances from the XPogo Stunt Team, dancing with Locust Performing

Arts Center of Stamford, music, clowns, holiday characters, and of course the big man in red!

Also, don’t forget to come back to Stamford Downtown on Sunday, December 7 to see Heights &

Lights, Rappelling Santa and Tree Lighting, presented by Reckson, A Division of SL Green Realty Corp.

Join us as Brian Cashman, Bobby Valentine and Santa dazzle us by rappelling 22 stories from the roof

of the Landmark Building. Then follow Santa and his entourage to the fabulous Tree Lighting and

holiday music in Latham Park.

Come one, come all to these exciting events. It’s a great opportunity to spend time with

family and friends and raise the curtain on a joyful and peaceful holiday season.

Sincerely,

EL
