Description

The Knight Parade is an annual celebration of Tampa civic pride. Hosted by the Krewe of the Knights of Sant' Yago, the Knight Parade has been held in Ybor City each year since 1974. The 2017 Krewe of Sant’ Yago Knight Parade presented by MOR will be held on Saturday, Feb. 11, 2017 at 7 p.m. in historic Ybor City. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will lead the 2017 parade as grand marshals. The parade's rich heritage attracts families, and adults young and old alike to join in the revelry. A true Tampa Bay tradition, the 2017 Knight Parade will draw more than 120,000 spectators from throughout the United States. It's sometimes referred to as the "Sant´Yago Illuminated Knight Parade" and mistakenly called the "Night Parade" because it's held at night. It is always held on a Saturday evening in February, typically a few of weeks after the Gasparilla Pirate Invasion. The Knight Parade, as well as other fundraising events, helps raise funds for the Krewe of the Knights of Sant’ Yago Education Foundation, which has provided more than $2 million in scholarships for local students.
