Phoenix, APS name grand marshal of Electric Light Parade

Miss America 2023, Grace Stanke, will serve as grand marshal for the 36th Annual APS Electric Light Parade, which takes place 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2, in Phoenix.

“Grace is a tremendous role model for young people and is a great example of how hard work and dedication can lead to success,” Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego said. “We are so proud to have her join us in celebrating this year's parade."

Stanke is the third Miss Wisconsin contestant to earn the title of Miss America. She is spending her year traveling the country “inspiring women and advocating for STEM careers while pursuing her degree in nuclear engineering,” according to a release.

“As both an electricity worker and a parade lover, I am so thrilled to be the grand marshal at the APS Electric Light Parade," Stanke said.

The 2.3-mile parade route starts at Central and Montebello avenues, travels south to Camelback Road, then heads east along Camelback Road to 7th Street. It continues south along 7th Street to its conclusion at Indian School Road.
