Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp has been confirmed as the Grand Marshal for the 71st Grand Parade of Light.
Kottkamp was selected by the Board of Directors for his dedication and contributions to Southwest Florida and for being a true “hometown hero”.
The Grand Parade of Light is a two-hour extravaganza featuring national and local marching bands, unique floats and giant balloons, local government and law enforcement officials and more. The parade, which has gained recognition as the largest night parade in the south east, brings the entire community out in celebration of the life and achievements of winter resident, Thomas Edison. This event is free to the public and will take place on Feb. 21, beginning in downtown Fort Myers at 7 p.m.
