With a repertoire including virtually every major thrill act possible combined with endearing comedy and magical family entertainment, comic daredevil Bello Nock is set to amaze and delight the audience attending the 31st annual Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular on November 24. 

The Greatest Showman on Earth, Daredevil, Comedian, Legend, Bello Nock last appeared at the Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular in 2019, and we are thrilled to welcome him back! You may recognize him from one of his many appearances on America’s Got Talent (AGT) or his many years headlining “The Greatest Show on Earth” (RBBB). Bello’s trademark blend of endearing comedy and jaw-dropping daredevil stunts has made him one of the most unique and exciting entertainers in the world today. He has been seen by over 100 million audience members in over 20,000 live performances in over 30 countries across 6 continents, as well as generated millions of views on TV and social media. TIME Magazine included Bello in their list of America’s Best Artists & Entertainers and the Wall Street Journal praised his “brand name level of recognition.”

Bello has captivated millions of fans around the world with daring feats such as walking on countless high wires, scaling buildings, jumping from a helicopter, being shot from a cannon and climbing to the top of sky-high Sway Poles. Bello has a unique ability to make people laugh while simultaneously performing dangerous stunts, pushing limits and raising the bar everywhere he goes, providing “…belly laughs and genuine gasps!” according to The New York Times. 

Described by the NY Daily News as “arguably the greatest athlete ever to set foot in Madison Square Garden,” and featured in the Guinness Book of World Records, Bello will also be performing parts of his riveting act at the Balloon Inflation Party on Saturday, November 23. This pre-parade event, hosted by Point72 and taking place from 3-6 p.m. at the intersection of Hoyt Street and Summer Street in Stamford Downtown, will allow spectators a behind-the-scenes look at the balloons as they come to life and offer music, parade talent and cartoon characters to greet and entertain spectators.

Recognized as one of the premier parades in the nation, the Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular taking place on Sunday, November 24 is a collaboration between the Stamford Downtown Special Services District and the City of Stamford, supported by numerous community-oriented corporations and organizations that proudly sponsor our balloons, bands, and floats including The Ashforth Company, Cacace, Tusch & Santagata, Carmody Torrance Sandak & Hennessey LLP, Cross Insurance Greenwich, CT Transit Cummings & Lockwood LLC, Deloitte, F. D. Rich Company, George Comfort & Sons, Inc., Hartford HealthCare Urgent Care, Julius Apartment Homes, KPMG LLP, M&T Bank, NBCUniversal Syndication Studios, New England Investment Partners, Point72, Poland Spring, Reckson, RMS Companies, RXR, Silver Golub & Teitell LLP, Stamford Town Center,  Stamford Urby, UConn Stamford, WIN Waste Innovations and with the support of the Department of Economic and Community Development, Office of Tourism and media partners Star 99, WEBE 108, WICC and Hey Stamford!

Planned highlights of the parade include balloons such as returning favorites Daniel Tiger, Elmo, Kung Fu Panda, Mr. Potato Head, Oscar the Grouch, Rudolph, Scooby-Doo, Shrek, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and more. In addition to the procession’s signature balloons, the streets will also be filled with fabulous floats, dance groups and marching bands, including the 175-member Butler Golden Tornado Marching Band (all the way from Butler, Ohio!), NYPD Emerald Society Pipe & Drum Band, Fairfield County Police Pipes and Drums and high school groups from High School Marching Bands from Westhill, Trumbull, John F. Kennedy from Waterbury, Brentwood, Uniondale and Wyandanch. A favorite float, Stamford’s Teacher of the Year, returns to host this year’s recipient Carolyn Tschinkel. Master of Ceremonies: Colin Cosell, PA Announcer for the NY Mets & NY Riptide, Colin Cosell will once again be the parade’s Master of Ceremonies for his third year.

The parade is scheduled to begin at noon on November 24 at the intersection of Summer Street at Hoyt Street and conclude on Atlantic Street, just a few short blocks from the Stamford Metro-North Railroad Station.
