The parade will start at the Forest Recreation Ground from 12pm, moving in the direction of Mansfield Road towards Old Market Square for a 12.45pm finish on Sunday, April 23.
More than 5,000 people are expected to dress up and march through the streets of Nottingham on the day.
Phil Harwood, branch secretary and parade organiser for The Royal Society of St George Radford Branch Nottingham, told the Post: "Five thousand people took part in the parade last year. It is getting really big now. It is about bringing people together no matter what culture and education.
"Everyone gets told about other cultures but St George gets a bit lost and it is about bringing it to the front and showing that we are proud of who we are."
The parade will be fronted by the Knights of Nottingham followed by three lorry floats packed with children dressed in Robin Hood and St George costumes.
There will also be DJs playing music and mascots from Mansfield Town Football Club, Notts County and Notts Cricket Club in attendance.
A range of entertainment will also be staged in the Old Market Square, including traditional Morris dancing by the Ripley Morris Men.
There will also be an after-party at the Pheasant Inn in Radford with bouncy castles, barbecue and a raffle for the whole family to enjoy from 2pm.
