The upcoming 2010 St. Patrick's Parade will be held on Sunday, March 14, 2010. This will be Detroit's 52nd parade! We hope everyone will come and join in the fun and festivities. 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. This year, we have 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 deadline to apply to march is February 20, 2010. Click here to download the application.
A heartfelt thank you is extended to all those involved in
last year's 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 this year's parade.

(and our crowds out of the Paddy Wagons!). Please note,
there will be no handling out or throwing candy or items
from the marchers or the floats. Also, please pick up
your trash.
