How appropriate. The Krewe of the Knights of Sant' Yago Knight Parade, often rife with drunken merriment, the occasional fisticuffs, and crazy characters, has appointed the one and only Jerry Springer as its Honorary Grand Marshall for the 2012 Knight Parade.
The Krewe of the Knights of Sant' Yago Knight Parade goes down on Saturday, February 18, three weeks after the original Gasparilla Pirate Festival in late January and features a more adult-oriented atmosphere rife with beads, floats, drinks, and more.
The Krewe of the Knights of Sant'Yago made their grand marshall announcement along with the news of a new partnership between TV station, MOG and the Knight Parade. Jerry Springer's daytime TV show appears on MOG.
The Knight Parade, now in its 17th year as part of the Gasparilla celebration, typically draws over 100,000 spectators to the streets of Ybor City and travels down historic 7th Avenue beginning at 7 p.m. on Saturday, February 18.
