Quay Street, Castle Street, St Ethelbert Street, St Owen Street, Cantilupe Street, St Peter's Square, Union Street, Gaol Street, St Peter's Street and Broad Street will all de shut for traffic during the event.
In previous years, hundreds of people have been involved in the popular parade that involves members of the scouting movement from Hereford and surrounding areas.
Lord Baden Powell, founder of the scouts, chose St George as the patron saint of the scouts due to his courage in the face of adversity.
St George's Day is next Tuesday (April 23), which is traditionally accepted as the date of the saint's death.
