A scholarship to Edward Waters University was awarded during the event, supporting access to higher education.
The parade starts at 11 a.m. from Lot E at EverBank Stadium and travels west on Bay Street before turning north on Market Street.
Last year's event was postponed to February due to dangerously cold and icy conditions; this year’s forecast was milder but still chilly.
