Stamford Downtown Special Services District (DSSD) held its annual Parade Spectacular on Sunday, November 19th, with 15 giant helium balloons floating through Stamford’s Downtown. The parade, which started thirty years ago, has become one of the largest of its kind in the country, showcasing Stamford’s rich cultural diversity and drawing large crowds including Stamford residents, spectators from the surrounding region, and even nearby states.

Ashforth, Inc. – Management Services, a division of Ashforth, was the team captain and led the team of 32 employees, friends, and family members handling the balloon. The parade route started at Summer Street and Hoyt Street and went south passing right by Ashforth’s corporate headquarters at 707 Summer Street.
