The Banana Split Clowns are a clown unit from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
The Banana Split Clowns made their first appearance in the 1996 Parade, sharing their side-splitting silliness with spectators along Broadway. The group featured a gaggle of a-peeling bananas (recycled from the Bananas & Pineapple Clowns), and cheery cherries. Sweetening up the day further, the Banana Split Vehicle joined the group of merrymakers.
The group initially made three appearances and retired after the 1998 Parade, before making a return to the event in 2003. The Banana Split Clowns made their final appearance in 2006, and their costumes later joined the Birthday Party Clown unit and later the Bananas & Palm Tree Clowns.
