Sammy Hagar has been named the Honorary Grand Marshal of the Fontana Days Parade, set for this Staurday (June 1) in Fontana, California.
The event, part of the Fontana Days Festival Centennial Celebration, runs May 30 through June 2.
"It's an honor," said Hagar. "Something about your hometown never leaves you."
"His [Sammy’s] unequaled ability to entertain and thrill audiences as well as his unstoppable entrepreneurial spark, are rivaled only by his devotion to philanthropy and giving as he hosts several charity events each year benefitting local organizations all around the country,” said Fontana Mayor Acquanetta Warren. "His work ethic, determination and innovative spirit speak highly of his character and his deep Fontana roots."
