The Red Rocker is returning to his roots.

Sammy Hagar will come back to his hometown to serve as the Grand Marshal of the parade celebrating 100 years of Fontana on Saturday, June 1.

The parade starts at 11 a.m. at Arrow Boulevard and Sierra Avenue and progresses south to Merrill Avenue and Veterans Park.

Here’s my favorite Red Rocker song. I still don’t understand how his version wasn’t a massive hit.

Also, if you’re 21 and older, you can catch Hagar &the Wabos performing at The Venenitan in Las Vegas on Saturday, June 8. Tickets are $68 each for the concert. There’s another pachkage available with eats at the Tiki Party from Emeril Lagasse.
