City of Edina

In 2018, the City of Edina filmed and produced a highlight clip of the parade. Beginning in 2019, the City of Edina has either live-streamed on Facebook or posted a recording of the parade on its YouTube channel. (The 2020 parade—canceled due to the pandemic—was celebrated with a video of previous parade footage interspersed with interviews of the 2020 grand marshals.)

The City of Edina also celebrated the retirement of ECF’s longtime Executive Director Dick Crockett with an article on his 20 years of service in their March 2023 Edition: Edina newsletter.
