Apple Festival Grand Marshal
Every year the Apple Festival Committee picks a person who has significantly impacted Bayfield to be the Apple Festival Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal makes several appearances across the Apple Festival grounds throughout the weekend and has a premium spot in the Apple Festival Parade.
Below is a list of past Grand Marshals; as you can see, our records are pretty sparse. Please contact the Bayfield Chamber and Visitor Bureau if you know who any of the past Grand Marshals were. If you have a photo of that person, we would love to feature it here! Contact the Public Relations Manager at kati@Bayfield.org
2024 Apple Festival Grand Marshal:
Mike Berg
When the Bayfield Chamber and Visitor Bureau told Mike he would be the 2024 Apple Festival Grand Marshal, he said, "I can't do that because I have to run the parade!"
It's that dedication that makes him so deserving of the recognition. Mike has helped organize the floats and bands for the Apple Festival Grand Parade for over 30 years.
“We have a couple dozen very talented bands that come from throughout the area,” he said. “My favorite moment — it’s always fun — I find it interesting to interact with the band leaders and interact with the students, which is a lot of fun.”
We thank Mike for his dedication, as the parade would not run smoothly without his help!
