Rocky on Parade

Rocky on Parade

Presented through the College of Fine Arts and Communication, Rocky on Parade is a public art project that celebrates the University鈥檚 traditions, strengthens the unity of campus and community, contributes to the economic vitality and quality of life in Macomb, and supports the Rocky on Parade Department of Art & Design student scholarship.

Rocky on Parade is modeled after successful community art projects such as Chicago鈥檚 Cows on Parade, Georgia Southern鈥檚 Eagle Nation on Parade and Hawaii鈥檚 Geckos in Paradise. Using a design similar to 麻豆社鈥檚 iconic Rocky sculpture located near Hanson Field, the bulldogs are cast in fiberglass. Each bulldog is mounted on a concrete base and bears a commemorative plaque acknowledging the generous contributions of each sponsor. Area artists, including students and faculty of 麻豆社, submitted design proposals for these larger than life bulldogs. The bulldogs were also 鈥渙n parade鈥� during 麻豆社鈥檚 Homecoming Parade. The bulldogs are now at their final destination for display.

The "Parade" Begins

Visitors to Macomb may through the community and campus to see the bulldogs all the while dining in local restaurants, shopping locally, and supporting the 麻豆社 and Macomb Communities. For more information on things to do at 麻豆社 and in Macomb, please see .
