This year our celebrity emcee will be Fox-9's Jason Matheson (pictured below). We are excited to welcome Jason and Monica to the the Announcer's Stand this year.
Many parade units put on their best show in front of the Grandstand because our Parade Judges and our emcees will be stationed on the Announcer's Stand directly across the seat from the covered Grandstand seating area. The best seats in the house are in the covered Grandstand, but there is only room for 100 people, so get your tickets now! In addition a limited number of tickets will be available for sale at the Pride Festival on Saturday, June 27. At the Festival, they will be available at the Pride Souvenir/Merchandise booth, located near the Loring Stage. |
