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 Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce, the annual parade was designed to be a people's parade – meaning anyone can participate as long as they register in advance and they're wearing a button.

The "official" St. Patrick's Day Parade buttons cost $3 each. Proceeds help to offset the costs of the parade and are also given to local non-profits, like the Special Olympics, that participate in button sales. Thank you to our sponsors Avera Health, Sanford Health, Xcel Energy and the Holiday Inn City Centre.
