Breaking news: Pat Cashman, of the perennially popular "Almost Live" sketch show and it's current reincarnation "206," will be the Grand Marshal for the 63rd Annual Parade on July 24. The theme? "Funny in Greenwood!" of course.

“We are thrilled to have Pat Cashman as our Grand Marshal this year,” said Parade Director Ann Woodward. “Mr. Cashman is someone who has brought his special brand of Seattle humor and personal warmth to our region for years. He and his crew are currently producing 'The 206' TV show which promises more late night hilarity!”

“I'm honored to be asked to be Grand Marshal for the annual parade in the greatest neighborhood in Seattle,” says Pat. “This will actually be my second time -- as I was Grand Marshal several years ago. I thank the community for their kind invitation, wonderful hospitality -- and short memory."

The Greenwood Seafair Parade takes place from 6-8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 24th. As always, the parade will run south along Greenwood Ave from N 95th St to N 85th St, and then west to 6th Ave NW. Thousands of people typically line the route. The parade features over 100 entrants including bands, drill teams, horses, dogs, floats, pirates and more.
