The Knoxville Nationals Parade takes place this morning, sponsored by the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce and McKay Insurance.
Parade lineup begins at 9am, and begins on the corner of Main and Roche St. at 10am. Executive Director of the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce Hannah Vander Veer tells KNIA/KRLS News the chamber wants the parade to provide a good example of what Knoxville can provide to visitors by letting the visitors who take their vacations to Knoxville during the races know that they are welcome to come back year after year and that we are happy to have them. The Knoxville Fire Department is also hosting a breakfast fundraiser today. A freewill donation is requested to help the department to purchase a UTV. The breakfast consists of pancakes, eggs, and sausage, and will run from 7am until noon.
