CM LaBonge with 2007 Grand Marshall Bob Barker and CM Garcetti.

“The Price is Right” host Bob Barker will be the Grand Marshall of this year’s Hollywood Santa Parade, it was announced outside the Egyptian Theater on Thursday by Councilmembers Tom LaBonge and Eric Garcetti. The electeds get the credit for ensuring that this annual, free event continues the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Earlier this year, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced it would no longer produce the Hollywood Christmas Parade so the councilmembers stepped into find new funding sources and sponsors to keep it going for the 76th consecutive year. The cast of “High School Musical” are among the other parade headliners.
