Introducing our 2026 Juneteenth Grand Parade Marshals! 🥁✨

We are incredibly honored to announce the outstanding individuals leading our Grand Parade this Saturday. Both of this year’s marshals represent the very best of La Porte through their dedication to leadership, faith, and public service:

✨ E. B. Scott – A proud La Porte native, University of Houston graduate, and former track athlete who had the distinct honor of running with the Olympic Torch in 1996. Today, he is an award-winning international speaker, poet, consultant, and published author dedicated to inspiring others through literacy and community service.

✨ Shamarian “Shaye” Lister – A devoted wife, mother of five, minister, and entrepreneur who recently became a published author with her 2026 devotional, Take a Breath, Mommy! Shaye has spent over 25 years in law enforcement, serving our city for the last 17 years as the Crime Victim Liaison for the La Porte Police Department. As she beautifully puts it: "Faith, family, service, and community are at the heart of everything I do."

Please join us in celebrating these two phenomenal leaders as they lead the procession down Broadway this weekend! 🙌❤️
