About this happenin
Florida A&M's Marching 100 has played the St. Pete MLK Parade, and the bands from Tuskegee and Alabama A&M have marched the same stretch of 1st Avenue South in downtown St. Petersburg. HBCU marching bands and floats fill out the line-up. Tampa Bay Collard Green Festival Inc. produces it with the City of St. Petersburg. The route covers about a mile and a half heading west from 3rd Street South, and the downtown blocks fill first. Watching is free and no ticket is needed. Step off is 11 a.m. sharp and the parade runs to roughly 2 p.m., with street closures beginning around 8 a.m. The city typically opens free parking at Tropicana Field near the west end, and downtown garages are listed at stpete.org/parking. SunRunner and PSTA service reroutes around the closures, so check your station first. The route is accessible, with designated viewing areas for people with disabilities. Bring a folding chair.
