DETROIT (WWJ) -- After being cancelled the last two years due to the pandemic, Detroit's St. Patrick's Parade is back!
The 62nd St. Patrick's Day Parade will be fully equipped with marching, pipe and drum bands, color guard units, floats, clowns and novelty groups that will move west along Michigan Avenue, dispersing at 14th Street in Corktown.
The parade usually attracts 80,000-100,000 people, making it one of the largest St. Patrick’s parades in the country, said parade officials.
The parade, hosted by the United Irish Societies (UIS), is happening on Sunday, March 13, at 1 p.m. in Corktown.
“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,” said Mike Kelly, UIS president.
