CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – Panthers on Parade is underway! From May 1-2, installation of 27 life-size fiberglass TC mascot statues is taking place at sponsor locations throughout Cedar Falls and the Cedar Valley. This community pride project featuring the University of Northern Iowa’s TC mascot will be on display now through October 2024.  

We are thrilled to embark on this community-wide adventure with the City of Cedar Falls and celebrate the Panther spirit that unites us all,” said Pete Moris, director of UNI University Relations. “Seeing how each artist has added a unique perspective into each statue will be something individuals of all ages can enjoy and share on social media. I hope everyone has a chance to visit all the Panthers on Parade!”
