Parade Organizers announced Mr. Worldwide, Armando Christian Perez, also known globally as Pitbull, as the Grand Marshal of the 45th Annual Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest® Boat Parade on Saturday, Dec. 10, 2016.
Pitbull will serve as ambassador for South Florida’s most acclaimed holiday celebration.
“As a native of South Florida, I am especially proud to have Pitbull as our Grand Marshal. This multi-dimensional globally-recognized superstar will rock our waterways and the world on December 10th,” said Lisa Scott-Founds, president & CEO of Winterfest, Inc. “We’re so excited to see Pitbull exude his enthusiasm on the mic throughout the night to one million spectators.”
From sold out tours and international shows to collaborations with the elite in the music industry, this South Florida Grammy®-winning global superstar is a crossover superstar who melds rap, bass and crunk into chart-topping hits with a touch of homegrown Cuban/American flare.
His relentless work ethic has expanded Pitbull beyond music with Bud Light, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Miami Grill as a few of his business partnerships. He has brought the Latin heat to television with appearances on Empire, Dancing with the Stars and his annual New Year’s Eve special on Fox TV. Pitbull is a brand.
“Seminole Hard Rock is thrilled to have Pitbull serve as this year’s revered Grand Marshal, kicking off the holiday season in style. His international superstar and larger than life personality screams Hard Rock and is sure shake up the waterways. Soon, we will all be yelling ‘Timber’!, said Susan Renneisen, vice president of community affairs and special events for Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla.
Pitbull will be a part of the Grand Marshal Reception on Friday, Dec. 9 prior to his concert at Hard Rock Live. He will appear in the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest® Boat Parade on Dec. 10.
