Parade Participants and Ceremony
More than 65 groups are signed up to participate in the parade, including Ethan Almighty, Schimpff’s Confectionary, government officials, and local businesses. The former mayor of Jeffersonville, Dale Orem, will be the parade grand marshal. Once the parade is over, guests can enjoy a ceremony in Warder Park at 109 E.
