March in the Parade
You’re invited to march in the Greenville St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
Bands, floats, schools, clubs, businesses, Irish organizations, and community groups
Saturday, March 13, 2027 Step-off 10:00 a.m. from Fluor Field, down Main Street to NOMA Square. The festival follows on Main Street.
Due to the rising costs of street closures and police presence, we now charge a small entry fee.
Spots are limited. Apply first. A unit is on the line-up only after we approve you — and if a fee applies, after payment clears.
Do not send payment until you get an approval email and a payment link. Do not show up unregistered.
Pricing (one fee per group, any number of walkers)
Walking group: $25
Group with a vehicle: $35, which covers your group and your first vehicle. Each additional vehicle is $10.
Float or trailer: $50, which covers the float and the truck pulling it. Any other vehicles are $10 each.
Fee waived: nonprofits, first responders, school groups and high school bands, and elected officials/VIPs. The waiver covers your group, one vehicle, and a float. Each additional vehicle is $10. Waived groups still apply with the form below and get approved.
Examples: A dance school walking pays $25. A business with walkers and one truck pays $35. A business with two cars pays $45. A nonprofit with a float pays $0, and the same nonprofit with two extra cars pays $20.
Advertise and march for less: Buy an ad of any size in the 2027 Parade Journal by February 20, and the cost of your ad goes toward your group’s parade fees. Add your group’s name to your ad order. See ad sizes and prices: Parade Journal Ads
