Party with a Purpose
We are a proud nonprofit organization supporting our local community and great city of Knoxville! But our “party with a purpose” is more than just a good time! The Knox St. Patrick’s Parade brings over 5,000 visitors and substantial dollars to downtown Knoxville. We are an all-volunteer run event and have raised over $200K since 2017.
Community-Driven
We are a proud nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization supporting our local community and the great city of Knoxville. Our sponsors are local businesses and families and all monies raised benefit those in need in our area.
Since 2017, we have raised over $200K for CCETN. And, with proceeds from our last four parades, we have funded scholarships to high school seniors in Knoxville, TN.
Economic Impact
The parade brings more than 5,000 visitors and substantial business and revenue to downtown Knoxville during the weekend of our event.
80+ parade units (of about 1,000 people) stroll the parade route through the heart of downtown Knoxville, where restaurants, bars and shops benefit from the crowds.
Welcome to All
Everyone is at least a wee bit Irish on St. Patrick’s Day! Our parade is a family-friendly public event.(We’ve even seen a few pets attend.)
No matter your age or accent, grab your green and join in on the fun!
