phxPRIDE is honored to announce our final 2026 phxPRIDE Parade Grand Marshal, Shore!
Marshall Shore, or most commonly known as Arizona’s "Hip Historian," is a storyteller and public historian who specializes in finding and sharing the most interesting bits and curiosities from our past: the semi-forgotten people, places, and events that have made us who we are today. A tireless advocate for desert culture. A former librarian brings Arizona’s past to life through vintage ephemera, retro flair, and dynamic multimedia storytelling.
As a key force behind the Arizona LGBT+ History Project in partnership with Phoenix Pride and Arizona State University, he has dedicated years to uncovering, preserving, and celebrating our state’s rich q***r heritage.
Marshall is excited to be a Grand Marshal, celebrating community visibility, history, and pride.
