Country singer Cody Johnson will be the Grand Marshal of the Downtown Rodeo Parade in Houston on Saturday, Feb. 26.
The event serves as the kick off for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and has been a tradition since 1938.
Johnson has long been popular with rodeo fans in Houston, and around the country. He will not only lead the parade but will also take the stage for the fourth time at RodeoHouston on Feb. 28. Additionally his song ‘Welcome to the Show’ will be the rodeo’s official song.
“Cody Johnson is a great friend of the Rodeo and has become a fan-favorite among our RODEOHOUSTON fans, making him the perfect candidate to lead our parade as grand marshal,” said Chris Boleman, Rodeo president and CEO. “From riding on horseback in our parade to performing on the RODEOHOUSTON stage on opening day, we’re excited for Cody to be a huge part of our 90th anniversary festivities.”
The festivities begin at 10 A.M. CT and the rodeo begins the following Monday on Feb. 28. You can find more information here.
