This year’s parade promises to be big and wonderful for our first annual parade. A team made up of residents and businessmen and community volunteers has come together to make the Mystic St. Patrick’s Parade a community effort and a really BIG DEAL! The committee members have worked tirelessly throughout the year to bring this parade about.
This year we anticipate 40 units, including at least 16 bands, military units, pipes & drums, floats, children, Irish dancers, high tech firefighting equipment, police units, drill teams, dogs, horses, antique cars and a Grand Marshall. This first year is going to be a BIG DEAL. We anticipate that we will have to limit registration to 50 marching units and 10 bands.
Mystic has always been strongly associated with the Irish. The thriving village of Mystic has many well established Irish businessmen, tradesmen and residents.
