Third Street South and 10th Avenue, Old Naples

The Naples St. Patrick’s Day Parade draws over 40,000 people to downtown Naples each year to celebrate Irish heritage and Irish culture in America.  The Naples St. Patrick Foundation has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to local high school bands and scholarships in the last five years. Serving as 2023 Grand Marshal is Lou Holtz, legendary college football coach who has achieved remarkable success, including taking six teams to bowl games, winning five bowl games with different teams, and having four teams ranked in the final Top 20 poll. The flag raising begins at 9:30 a.m. at Crayton Cove, and the parade starts at 11 a.m., rain or shine. Visit the website for registration, sponsorship and general information.
