The 2023 McKay Group Knoxville Nationals Parade is today.

The parade starts at 11:00 am. Community members and race fans are encouraged to eat breakfast downtown before the parade, stay for lunch, and shop at local businesses after the event. The event showcases sprint car drivers, along with many different entries representing the community. 

Knoxville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Nathan Sage talked about how this event is a great celebration for Knoxville.

“If you’ve never been to the Nationals Parade come on out and check it out. It’s a great celebration of the biggest event in Knoxville. Again, it’s obviously race themed but it shows the great organizations and the people in town.”
