The Knoxville Chamber of Commerce has announced the 2024 McKay Group Knoxville Nationals Parade.

This year’s parade will take place on Saturday, August 10th, in Downtown Knoxville, starting at 11 a.m. The lineup for the parade will commence at 10 a.m. The parade’s start time has been set for 11:00 a.m. to accommodate more sprint car drivers, ensuring good participation. Community members and race fans are encouraged to enjoy breakfast downtown before the parade, stay for lunch, and explore local businesses post-event.

Notable for this year is a change in the parade route due to ongoing construction in the city. The parade will kick off at the corner of Robinson and Roche Streets, heading east on Robinson. It will then make a right turn onto 4th Street before another right onto Montgomery Street. The parade will end at Fremont Street.

Entries for the 2024 McKay Group Nationals Parade are currently being accepted. Participants can access entry forms and the parade route at https://www.knoxvilleiachamber.com/events/knoxville-nationals/parade/.
