The Rag Doll Clowns are a clown unit from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
The Rag Doll Clowns debuted in the 2009 Macy’s Parade, recycled from costumes that were previously featured in the Santa’s Toy Box Clown group. The unit featured clowns all dolled up as Raggedy Ann and Andy carrying giant lollipops and candy canes. Toy Soldiers were added to the unit in 2018, rounding out the patchy posse.
Following a brief hiatus after the 2019 Parade, the Rag Doll Clowns returned to the line of march in 2021 with gift package props. The following year, which also marked their most recent appearance, candy ribbon costumes from the Cracker Barrel float were added to the group.
