Enterprise Announces the 2025 Grand Marshal for the 32nd Annual World’s Smallest St. Patrick’s Day Parade
The luck of the Irish is coming back to Downtown Enterprise as we proudly announce the 2025 Grand Marshal for the 32nd Annual World’s Smallest St. Patrick’s Day Parade, hosted by the Enterprise Chamber of Commerce!
On Saturday, March 15, at noon, citizens and visitors alike are invited to pack the streets of Downtown Enterprise as our one and only parade participant—the Grand Marshal—marches down E. College Street and around the Boll Weevil Monument to keep this legendary tradition alive. While most parades feature massive floats and marching bands, this delightfully quirky event proves that a big heart and a little Irish spirit is all it takes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day the Enterprise Way!
This year’s honored Grand Marshal, Ryan Dugger, WTVY Meterologist, is no stranger to spreading joy and community spirit. Ryan has strong maternal Irish ancestry, and learned how to Irish jig when he was four years old. Dressed in his best Irish attire, he will proudly carry the Irish flag (and possibly jig) through downtown Enterprise in a one-person parade unlike any other.
But Wait—There’s More!
The fun doesn’t stop with the parade! Immediately following, lace up those running shoes
(or don’t—we won’t judge) for the Half Pint 0.5K Race, presented by Five Star Credit Union.
Participants will take on the 546-yard challenge, complete with a donut pit stop halfway through to keep those energy levels high. And because every great race deserves a reward, runners will be greeted at the finish line with a celebratory drink—green beer for those 21+ and sodas or juice for our younger or non-drinking participants.
Pre-registration for the Half Pint 0.5K race is still open online or in person at the Enterprise Chamber of Commerce office. Registration is $25 for adults (13+) and $15 for children ages 6-12. So, grab your gear, bring your family & your four-legged friends, and join us for a shamrockin’ good time!
