Hal's St. Paddy's Parade City Sweep

Person hands out parade beads to crowd along the parade route.

Hal's St. Paddy's Parade & Festival is happening on Saturday, March 28. Our City Sweep volunteers do a fantastic job leading the parade through the streets of downtown Jackson, handing out beads and collecting donations for Children's of Mississippi.

We kick off Hal's St. Paddy's Parade by meeting downtown at 10 a.m. and marching at 11 a.m. Please keep in mind that we march briskly to ensure the main parade can begin on schedule. 

Complete the short City Sweep signup form with your contact information. You may volunteer as an individual, group or family. A staff member will follow up with additional event details. If you have questions or are interested in supporting Children's of Mississippi, email communityevents@umc.edu.
