William Shatner, best known for his role as Captain Kirk in Star Trek, is to serve as Grand Marshall.

Shatner, who is 83, says he has been to Calgary before, but never to the Calgary Stampede.
The Calgary Stampede runs from July 4 to 13.
The parade gets underway at 9:00 a.m. on July 4.
“Leading the parade will be quite a way to experience my first time,” Shatner said in a release Tuesday.
