Detroit St. Patrick’s Day Parade Back for the First Time Since 2019
The Detroit St. Patrick’s Day Parade is back in 2022, marking its big return. This year’s event will be the first parade since 2019, after being postponed due to the pandemic.
The parade, but on by the United Irish Societies, will happen along Michigan Avenue in Corktown beginning at 1 a.m. Sunday, March 13. Expect marching and pipe and drum bands, floats, clowns, color guard units and more. Approximately 100,000 people usually attend the parade.
“On behalf of the United Irish Societies, parade sponsors and participants, we’re thrilled to be back and know this year’s event will be better than ever with all of the positive momentum in Corktown for everyone who lives, works and spends time there,” Mike Kelly, UIS president, said in a statement.
Peggy Gray will serve as the grand marshal of the parade. “For 61 years, the St. Patrick’s Parade has brought together people of all cultures and nationalities in metro Detroit to celebrate Irish culture and make lasting memories,” she said. “I look forward to continuing that tradition this year. This parade is a great time to celebrate Corktown, Detroit, and the positive momentum in the Corktown area.”
