MÖTLEY CRÜE frontman Vince Neil has been announced as the grand marshal for the Franklin Rodeo Parade, scheduled to kick off on Saturday, May 11 at noon in downtown Franklin, Tennessee.
Established in 1949, the Franklin Rodeo attracts more than 18,000 enthusiastic fans annually, making it one of Middle Tennessee’s longest-standing family traditions and one of the largest rodeos in the eastern United States.
Both the Franklin Rodeo and its accompanying parade are organized by The Franklin Noon Rotary. The parade, held in the historic downtown area of Franklin, precedes the main rodeo event by one weekend.
Organizers of Franklin Rodeo said: “Drumroll, please! We’re thrilled to announce that the one and only Vince Neil rock legend and frontman of MÖTLEY CRÜE will be our GRAND MARSHAL for the Franklin Rodeo Parade! Get ready to rock out & roll down the streets with Vince Neil leading the way!
“Our Grand Marshal has a special connection to Franklin, Tennessee, just like his iconic song ‘Home Sweet Home’, he has made his home sweet home, Franklin, TN! VINCE NEIL!”
