Details of the 2023 Gold Cup Parade were unveiled on Wednesday. The parade will take place Friday, August 18th and the parade theme this year will be An Island Summer. The Maritime Electric children’s entertainment this year will feature special guests from MARVEL: Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, and Thor. Serving as the Gold Cup Parade Marshalls this year are Arden Hopkin and Lucas Macdonald, who were the two members of Team PEI who earned medals at the 2023 Canada Winter Games held in PEI. One of the biggest highlights of this year’s parade will be the RCMP Musical Ride, which will lead the Gold Cup Parade through the streets of Charlottetown and will feature up to 32 riders. The Musical Ride will be accompanied by the RCMP Pipes and Drums Band and a Ceremonial Marching Troop as the RCMP celebrates its 150th anniversary.
