Since 2001, the Millersville Community Parade has featured a grand marshall. Grand marshall candidates are nominated based on their contributions to the Millersville community.

Parade Grand Marshalls:

  • Harold "Skip" Rhodes (2005)
  • Dr. William H. Duncan and Dr. Joseph A. Caputo (2004) - living past presidents of Millersville University
  • Jim Eshelman (2003)
  • Dorothy Bender (2002)
  • John Herr (2001)
