INDIO – A champion of California, Dodgers great, member of their 1981 World Series championship team and a resident of the Coachella Valley, Mr. Steve Garvey, will lead Monday’s Riverside County President’s Day Grand Parade in Indio as the parade’s grand marshal.
Families are invited to come out to see the parade, which will have school marching bands, charros, dance groups, and classic cars.
The parade steps off at 9 a.m. Monday at the intersection of Miles Avenue and Deglet Noor Street in downtown Indio. The parade will go east on Miles Avenue to Oasis Street, south to Highway 111 and west to the Riverside County Fairgrounds.
“On a week where we just crowned the newest sports champions of California, we are tremendously excited that Steve Garvey, another California champion and living legend in Dodgers history, has graciously agreed to be Grand Marshal for our community parade,” said Supervisor V. Manuel Perez. “There is a lot of love for our Dodgers and for this resident of our community who, in my opinion, should be in the Hall of Fame. I thank Mr. Garvey for his dedication to our communities and look forward to a lot of people being there to celebrate him and cheer on local students who this parade is all about.”

As fall approaches, it’s time to start thinking about your annual flu shot. The CDC recommends flu vaccination every season for nearly everyone 6 months and older, and September or October is generally the ideal time for most people to get vaccinated. The 2026-27 flu vaccines have been updated to target the strains expected to circulate this season. There’s also a new option this year: Moderna’s mFLUSIVA, the first FDA-approved mRNA flu vaccine, for adults 50 and older. Talk with your health care provider about which flu vaccine is right for you and make a plan to get vaccinated this fall.
