The Corny-Copia Clowns (formerly Cloe’s Clowns) are a clown unit from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
Cloe’s Clowns debuted in the 2005 Macy’s Parade, leading the procession with their guardian spirit, Cloe the Holiday Clown, and costumes in bright colors of orange, yellow, and green to match; the clown unit accompanied the Cloe balloon annually through 2009. The following year, the clown unit was renamed the Corny-Copia Clowns and was joined by Pilgrims, who remained with the group until 2012.
The Corny-Copia Clowns led the 2019 Parade lineup with bunches of bright balloons as they zipped down the Parade route on rollerblades. Following a scaled-down appearance in 2020, the clowns returned for the 2021 Parade with signs that read “Thankful Since 1924.” The Corny-Copia Clowns continue to zip and zoom in the Parade as of 2023, bringing plenty of laughs to the table.
Trivia[]
- Some of the Corny-Copia Clown costumes have been recycled into acrobat clowns in the Circus Clowns unit.
