2024 Grand Marshal — J.D. McCrumb

Each year, the Western Welcome Week Board of Directors honors a member of the Littleton community as the Grand Marshal to represent the theme, as well as the spirit, pride, and enthusiasm for Littleton’s annual community celebration.

The WWW board solicited nominations from the public and from board members for an individual who is committed to this year’s theme: Celebrate the Arts. J.D. McCrumb fits that role to a tee!

J.D., a Littleton native, is a proud graduate of LPS schools, spending ample time in the music and theater departments of Arapahoe High School. He is passionate about providing paths for community engagement and connection, with a particular interest in collaboration amongst private, government, and nonprofit sectors to enhance access to and appreciation for the arts.

An active volunteer, J.D. currently serves on four nonprofit boards which includes more than a decade on Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center board. He also serves on the boards of Shakespeare in the Wild, the Colorado Governor’s Mansion’s preservation organization, and is the chair of the governing board at his children’s Littleton charter school. J.D. is also a founding member and current chair of the City of Littleton’s Arts and Culture Board where he helped launch the Cultural and Arts Partners program which encourages collaboration and learning among Littleton cultural entities.

J.D. wowed the crowd where rode in a flashy vintage convertible, practicing his best “parade wave!”

Thank you J.D. for all you do for the arts and culture in our community!
