This year’s theme is “2022: Go Big & Come Home,” and is a collaboration with Visit Jackson and the Jackson Bicentennial campaign celebrating 200 years of Jackson. The parade returns after being on hiatus for two years due to the pandemic. This marks the 37th year of the parade, and it would have been the 39th if not for the COVID cancellations
The Grand Marshall is Alexander “Trace” Armstrong Alston III, a proud Jacksonian and longtime parade member with the marching Rude Men Crew.
All proceeds from the parade and festival will go to benefit Children’s of Mississippi, the state’s only dedicated pediatric hospital and research center.
After the parade, the party will continue at Hal & Mal's for the official Hal's St. Paddy's Parade & Festival 2022 Afterparty! Dance into the night with The Molly Ringwalds, Mustache the Band, FrazierBand, Southern Komfort Brass Band, and the Collective DJs featuring DJ Cadillac, DJ URI, and DJ Tam.
