A Tampa tradition since the 1970s, the Krewe of Sant’ Yago Knight Parade will take place on Saturday, February 10, at 7:00 P.M. in historic Ybor City. The parade will entail about 100 units consisting of illuminated Krewe floats, local marching bands, and dignitaries who will throw scores of beads to thousands of spectators. The Krewe of Sant’ Yago has elected WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair as Grand Marshal for this year’s parade and TV personality Steve Wilkos will also join as a special guest of the parade.
