“Mal’s St. Paddy’s Parade is arguably one of the biggest events in Jackson every year. And the events that surround it make it a days-long celebration. Entering its 27th year, the parade is considered the fourth largest in the nation and boasts the world-famous Sweet Potato Queens. The St. Paddy’s issue of the Jackson Free Press celebrates the tradition and offers a guide to the parade—from fashion to sweet potato recipes to drinks and more. Enjoy!”
