Grand Marshal Nominations

What Does It Mean to Be a Grand Marshal?

The Grand Marshal is a distinguished member of our community who has made a lasting impact through service, leadership, and dedication. This individual leads the Derby Days Parade and is recognized for their contributions to making Morristown a better place for all.

Each year, we invite the community to nominate someone who embodies these values and deserves to be celebrated.
