Comments: The MuleFest Parade is a fun hometown parade celebrating Memorial Day, the Maury County area community, and small business.

Country music icon TRACE ADKINS is the Grand Marshall of the MuleFest Parade which will feature a lot of community and veterans’ groups, bands and local musical artists, entertainment, horses, and of course mules.

We love a parade and think the 501st Legion would be a fantastic addition to the MULEFEST PARADE and hope you approve our request.
