The first St. Patrick´s Day Parade was held in downtown Sioux Falls in 1980. Sponsored by the St. Patrick´s Day Extravaganza Committee, with help from the Greater Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce, the annual parade was designed to be a people´s parade – meaning anyone can participate as long as they´re wearing a button. The "official" St. Patrick´s Day Parade buttons cost $3 each. All proceeds are donated to the Special Olympics and other worthwhile children´s charities in the Sioux Falls area. Thank you to our sponsors Avera, Sanford Health, and Xcel Energy. Contact Valerie Willson for more information.
