About this episode

Cliff Dumas discusses the upcoming Juneau Fourth of July Parade with guest Alicia Nessler, highlighting new entries and community involvement.

On this episode of Capital Chat , Cliff Dumas talks with Alicia Nessler from the Juneau Fourth of July Parade about plans for this year’s celebration, as Juneau gets ready to mark America’s 250th Independence Day. Alicia shares details on new parade entries, including the Daughters of the American Revolution, along with this year’s grand marshals — a group chosen to reflect the heart of Juneau. The conversation highlights young Cade Jobsis and his family’s powerful journey, community cleanup champion Leticia McRae, the work of Litter Free, and the possible inclusion of Trail Mix for its role in keeping Juneau’s trails accessible and beautiful. Listeners will also learn how businesses, organizations, military groups, and youth entries can take part in the parade, with special $25 entry fees in honor of the 250th anniversary, and free participation for military and children’s entries. It’s a look ahead to one of Juneau’s most beloved traditions — built by volunteers, supported by sponsors, and powered by local pride.
