Local Football Hero to be Grand Marshal in Parade

(Michigan City, IN) - Michigan City native and NFL superstar Braden Fiske will serve as the Grand Marshal for the 2025 Michigan City Patriotic Parade.

 

The parade is scheduled June 28. 

 

After the parade, Fiske will also host a Family Fun Day at Ames Field.

 

“It’s an honor to be named Grand Marshal of the Michigan City Patriotic Parade.  This city means everything to me. It’s where I grew up, where I learned the value of community, and where I first learned how to dream big,” he said.

 

Fiske became a star defensive lineman for the Los Angeles Ram during his first season last year.

 

“Braden’s tenacity and commitment to giving back to his hometown are truly inspiring. He continues to show our young people that you can reach great heights and still stay rooted in where you came from,” said Mayor Angie Nelson Deuitch.

 

This year’s parade line-up will include high school bands, bagpipe bands, dance teams, local businesses and organizations, the XInsurance Great Lakes Grand Prix race boat, “Crazy Rythm,” and so much more.

 

There will also be a flyover by the Hooligan Flight Team to kick off the parade.
