C.W. and Earlene Miller of Harcum have been selected as grand marshals of this year’s Gloucester Daffodil Festival parade. The couple was previously chosen as grand marshals for the festival’s parade in 2020; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they are just now able to fulfill their grand marshal duties.

After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the festival returns to a full, in-person event this year. The event was canceled in 2020 (with the exception of a virtual shoebox parade) while last year, a scaled-down version of the festival was held with limited tickets and no parade.
