Grand Marshal Reunion
As part of New Albany Founders Day’s 50th Anniversary, we are inviting all our past grand marshals (or their family) to return to this year’s festival so we can all celebrate together!
The day will start with a breakfast for the grand marshals, participation in the parade, and a return to the festival. In order to make this as accessible as possible, we will provide transportation to and from the parade and festival so you won’t have far to walk.
If the grand marshal has passed away or is unable to come, we are welcoming up to two family members to participate in their honor.
Please contact us if you have any questions, otherwise, complete the form below if you plan to attend!
