The United Irish Societies (UIS) is the organization that hosts the parade. In 1958, the UIS hosted the first St. Patrick’s Parade in Dearborn, MI. The Parade route follows along Michigan Avenue through the area known as Corktown. Corktown received its 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.
The United Irish Societies is made up of more than 35 Irish organizations across Metro Detroit. Many members, community leaders and business professionals who make up the UIS donate time, money, and resources to ensure that the parade and other philanthropic efforts continue to be supported.
A heartfelt thank you for everyone who volunteered and sponsored the 2023 parade! There was countless hours, effort and dedication that went into making the parade the huge success it was.
