NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The airline offers that new, direct flight — Aer Lingus — is also the sponsor of Nashville's official St. Patrick's Day parade.
The annual St. Patrick's Day parade is set to roll through East Nashville, beginning Saturday morning at 10 a.m. This year's grand marshal is Fiona Prine — who will be joined by community groups, special guests, traditional Irish Pipe and Drums, and some of your favorite sports fans and mascots.
It's all organized by the Irish Network Nashville, a social group honoring Middle Tennessee Irish traditions. That group's president told me he's glad the parade is back and better than ever.
"We've renewed a tradition of an authentic St. Patrick's Day parade in Nashville," Conor Doolan, of the Irish Network Nashville. "Historically, there were parades in the 1800s and 1900s. There have been some large gaps, but the INN is really proud to bring back that tradition of an annual St. Patrick's Day parade."

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
