The Mule Day Parade Names Clay Walker as the 2024 Grand Marshal

The Mule Day Parade announced Clay Walker as 2024’s Grand Marshal on Friday.

Clay Walker is a multi-PLATINUM selling country artist who has garnered 11 No. 1 songs, 40 charted singles, four RIAA PLATINUM albums, two Certified GOLD albums and more, and he has established himself as a country music staple. 

Diagnosed in 1996 with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Walker has become a passionate advocate and fundraiser for others with the disease through his self-named foundation. Among his efforts are the annual Clay Walker Charity Classic at Pebble Beach. The golf event highlights the highly active way Walker has approached MS, continuing to perform and raise a growing family while showing no signs of slowing. His most recent album Texas To Tennessee, which was produced by Michael Knox (Jason Aldean) and Jaron Boyer (Dierks Bentley's "Somewhere On A Beach"), reflects on his storied career.
