DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – The Greenville Avenue Area Businesses Association announced on Tuesday the return of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival on Saturday, March 12, presented by the Dallas Mavericks.
Attended by over 125,000 people each year, the largest St. Patrick’s event in the Southwest will return after a two-year pandemic hiatus, featuring Mavs living legend Dirk Nowitzki as this year’s Grand Marshal. Nowitzki retired from the Dallas Mavericks in 2019 as an MVP and NBA champion after 21 seasons. His number, 41, was retired by the Mavericks earlier this year.
“Every year we look forward to one of the biggest events in Dallas, the St. Patrick’s Parade, and this year we are thrilled to once again partner with the Mavericks and Dallas’ own Dirk Nowitzki to bring that vision to life,” said Kevin Vela, Board Chairman of GAABA. “The Mavs organization has been our number one sponsor for many years and a phenomenal parade partner. We’re proud to work together to bring top notch family-friendly entertainment to the community while making a valuable contribution to area youth through our educational scholarship fund.”
The parade will begin at 11 a.m. on Greenville Avenue at Blackwell Street and end at SMU Boulevard and Central Expressway.
