The 49th annual St. Patrick's Day parade in Naples is celebrating the holiday and honoring local military members.
Dale Mullin, founder and president of Warrior Homes of Collier, is the grand marshal for Saturday's parade.
Attendees can expect to see bands marching the parade route, floats and much more.
This parade is expected to have a big turnout, with more than 40,000 people usually showing up, making it the largest privately funded parade in the state.
At 9:30 a.m., there was a flag-raising ceremony at Crayton Cove to honor local members of the military, followed by the parade kicking off at 11 a.m.
