Where: Hill Avenue to Gay Street /downtown Knoxville

Visitors come from near and far to line the streets of downtown Knoxville for the Dogwood Parade.  Marching bands, decorated floats, performing arts groups, and nine giant helium balloons will make the hour-long Parade one of the Festival’s most exciting events.

The Dogwood Parade is the only parade in Knoxville with giant balloons as seen in the Macy’s parade.  It’s a living, breathing celebration of art, nature, and community floating down the length of Gay Street – and it’s an event you don’t want to miss!

The Dogwood Parade will be televised live on .  A re-run will air Saturday, April 28 at 1:00pm EST.
