The Parade

The Parade is a family friendly event hosted annually in East Nashville in the Five Points Neighborhood.

INN brought back the Annual Parade after nearly two decades (it was a 19 year gap!) without it in Music City. We’re thrilled to take on this tradition and see it grow. Each year, Parade day includes Live Music, a Kids Zone, the Official Sashing of the Grand Marshal and Aides, and an Opening Ceremony. Then, the Parade kicks off to march down the streets of Five Points. 

While members get access to the VIP Viewing Area and an opportunity to march in the parade, nonmembers can participate as well! You can apply to march, drive, or sponsor the St Patrick’s Day Parade in Five Points! 

We welcome local groups, organizations, bands, cheer/dance teams, titleholders, public officials, school sports teams, churches, candidates, and other applicable groups to march/drive in the parade! Applications are not open for 2025 Parade Participation, but please check back soon! In the meantime, you can email info@irishnetworknashville.org to request Sponsorship Information for your business or if you’d like to get on our list of volunteers for next year’s festivities.
