Louisville, KY (November 16, 2016) – Mayor Greg Fischer is excited to announce that Louisville native Dave Moisan, a recent contestant on NBC’s “The Voice,” will headline this year’s Holiday in the City entertainment, with a performance during Light Up Louisville on Friday, Nov. 25.

“Dave represented our city so well during his appearances on “The Voice,” and I know his hometown neighbors will be thrilled to hear him perform during our beloved Light up Louisville,” the Mayor said.

Moisan has also been named honorary grand marshal for the Lots of Lights Parade, which will begin at 7 p.m. on Light Up night. (The grand marshal is Steve Buttleman, official bugler of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby.)
