Exciting events have been planned for 2008. In addition to the parade, please use the links above to learn more about our annual "Gala" at the Inn on 5th and the Pub Trolley Crawl. The Parade is completely run by a volunteer group and funded by raising money during these events. The parade kicks off at 9 a.m. with the traditional flag raising ceremony sponsored by and taking place at the The Dock at Crayton Cove. The parade will begin at 11 a.m. and is sure to please all with over 12 bands traveling from near and far to entertain us! Olde Naples is home to the LARGEST St. Patrick's Day Parade in the Southeast with approximately 35,000 - 40,000 in attendance. Naples Chamber of Commerce has reported that this parade receives more inquiries than any other event in the area. There is no financial help from any government, city, county or state agency. We hope to see you at these events to show your support of the 30th Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in Paradise!
