Our parade has grown each year, helping name Knoxville as the 13th BEST city to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in the US. Family-friendly and tons of fun, this “Party with a Purpose” welcomes all to be Irish on St. Patrick’s Day!

For the 2025 Parade, we are in search of a featured marching band! The parade is slated for Saturday, March 15. Step-off is at 1pm. Read more about the 2025 Parade.

If your school band is interested, please contact Mary Croft at (865) 806-0960 or email us at knoxstpatricksparade@gmail.com.

We welcome out-of-town participants. Make Knoxville a spring destination and join us for the most fun! Learn more about our great city at visitknoxville.com.
