Congratulations to Pete Decker III on being named Norfolk’s First Citizen!

Make no mistake, the reason I’m getting this award is because of the way my Dad raised me and my Mom raised me. We had a blessed childhood and upbringing. I was given every opportunity in life, and I’d like to think I took advantage of that.

Our parade simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our Presenting Sponsor and longtime partner, Chesapeake Regional Healthcare . As they gear up to celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2026, you’ll spot their commemorative signs all across Chesapeake.

Be sure to keep an eye out for the special Chesapeake Rotary edition—mounted proudly on a light pole right in the heart of the parade route at Battlefield and Cedar!
