Congratulations to our 2010 Parade Winners! newCéad míle fáilte romhat - A hundred thousand welcomes! This year's 52nd parade went off with a bang despite the weather. Thousands braved the rain and chill to show their Irish spirit and pride! The parade, sponsored by the United Irish Societies (UIS), started on Michigan Avenue at Sixth Street at 2:00 p.m. and continue down to Fourteen Street. We had the honor of having John and Kathleen Treanor as the 52nd Grand Marshals. In 1959, the United Irish Societies, sponsored the first St. Patrick's Parade in Dearborn, MI. The Parade route follows along Michigan Avenue through the area known as Corktown. Corktown received it's name as the Irish were the largest ethnic group of newcomers to Detroit, most of them from County Cork. The Corktown neighborhood is Detroit's oldest surviving neighborhood. Everyone is welcomed to march in the parade. The 2011 parade is Sunday, March 13, 2011! A heartfelt thank you is extended to all those involved in the 2010 parade. It was a lot of hard work and it showed! We also wish to extend another heartfelt thank you to everyone who will be involved in the upcoming parade in 2011.
Please come back and visit soon as we are in the process of updating
with new information and photos.
