Where to watch the 2025 Knoxville's St. Patrick's Day Parade
The St. Patrick's Day parade is scheduled to step off at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 15. For those who aren't able to make it in person, the parade will be streamed in this story.
Knoxville's St. Patrick's Day Parade raising money for local charity
This year, the parade will begin on Gay Street at Main Street and stroll down till Gay Street's intersection with Magnolia Avenue. In previous years, the parade stepped off from the South side of the Gay Street Bridge, but because of the bridge was closed in June 2024 after a 'compromised element' was discovered, the starting location for this year's festivities had to be moved.
There really aren't any bad places along Gay Street to watch the parade, but there are some areas where it may be a little easier to find space to see the parade, such as near the Rowing Man Statue on the corner of W. Church Street and Gay Street, or near the Visit Knoxville Visitor's Center, where there are a few parking lots that may provide a little extra breathing room. Those who value having more space to move around may look for a watching spot between West Vine Street and Jackson Avenue, where the sidewalks are wider.
Restoration of railway bridge brings sense of normalcy back to Newport community
6 News' Lori Tucker is one of the emcees for the event. The VIP and emcee area is expected to be in the Krutch Park area of Gay Street, however, the location may be moved if there is inclement weather. Those hoping to be closer to the announcements of the floats may try to find somewhere closer to DiCarlo's Pizza or the Regal Cinema, although the area can be very popular, so it's best to arrive early.
The parade is expected to happen rain or shine. Storm Team 6 is monitoring the possibility of severe weather, including wind and storms, on Saturday. Stay up to date with the Storm Team's latest forecast here.
This year's Grand Marshall is Knoxville Native and NFL star Harrison Smith. The Knoxville Catholica High School Graduate played college football for Notre Dame before being drafted to the Minnesota Vikings in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He then played in the NFL for 13 seasons, and worked off the field to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities and The Leary Firefighters Foundation.
Deadline set for Knoxville College to prevent access to unsafe building
Last year's parade was a sight to see, with all kinds of floats, performers, and businesses and organizations taking part.
In 2024, Wallet Hub named the Knox St. Patrick's Day Parade the 13th best St. Patrick's Day parade in the country, ranking it higher than the parades held in San Francisco and New Orleans.

It's going to be hot with isolated storm chances in the Pittsburgh area today
It's going to be hot today in the Pittsburgh area with isolated storm chances. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos This morning, temperatures are fairly mild with not and much in the way of moisture in the air. Once the sun rises, this lack of moisture should allow for temperatures to warm up very quickly from the low-mid 60s into the upper 80s to low 90s areawide this afternoon. A few fair-weather cumulus clouds may develop, but no precipitation is expected today. Low humidity in the afternoon should keep heat indices within a degree or two of the actual air temperature. For those attending the pre-season Steelers game, expect temperatures in the upper 80s near game start time and only dropping into the low 80s by late evening. There will not be much wind either. We are still on track for a couple of weak disturbances to approach our region from the northwest starting Sunday through the middle of next week that will also bring some storm chances. Some isolated/predawn showers may survive the trip into far northwestern PA just before sunrise, but model guidance has slowed the arrival of the actual disturbance driving this activity. It is more likely that we'll start to see more widely scattered showers and storms after 10am lasting through early evening. This is the timeframe the disturbance will be moving across Western PA accompanied with the most amount of available energy and moisture. Slightly higher coverage may occur for areas along and north of HWY 422 toward I-80. A weak cold front will move through Sunday evening into Sunday night. This will allow temperatures on Monday morning to be a few degrees cooler, but most spots will still rebound fairly quickly into the mid-upper 80s by Monday afternoon as the cold air forcing the boundary south will likely lose most of its punch. Another surge of warm air will move in early Tuesday morning ahead of a second series of disturbances that will bring higher storm chances into the region by next Tuesday into Wednesday. Enhanced cloud cover and a northeasterly breeze will likely hold temperatures down substantially by next Wednesday before temperatures moderate by the end of next week.

Buffalo Bills engineered certain weather patterns out of new stadium
Buffalo Bills engineered certain weather patterns out of new stadium originally appeared on The Sporting News The Buffalo Bills are getting set to play their final season at Highmark Stadium, the stadium they've called home since 1973. The new stadium, which is being built right across the street from the current one, is near completion and will open in 2026. On top of it being the new home of the Bills, the new stadium has a few new quirks to help prevent mother nature from taking over games. The stadium features several canopy covers to keep fans out out the snow and rain while also making sure the precipitation makes it to the field. Team owner Terry Pegula also explained to Josh Allen during a video recorded during the two's tour of the stadium that it was engineered to keep out the wind. The Bills had a noteworthy wind game back in 2022 against the New England Patriots in which New England won where Mac Jones only threw three passes due to the extremely windy conditions.
