The Funhouse Clowns is a clown unit from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
The Funhouse Clowns made their debut in the 2019 Macy's Parade, with costumes recycled from Krazy Glue's "Fun House" float. The group, one of the few teen clown groups in the Parade, featured an array of zany funhouse performers showing off their unique talents. A strong man lifts a colossal weight over his head, acrobats demonstrate impossible gymnastic feats, and street artists balance enormously tall stacks of plates and hats.
Due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, rules were implemented to reimagine the 2020 Parade to ensure a safe procession. Participants under the age of 18 were prohibited from partaking in Parade activities, resulting in the teen clown groups being cut, including the Funhouse Clowns.
