Mystic Connecticut will host a Saint Patrick Parade on March 30th starting

and for us it is a first for our corner of Connecticut. Everyone is
cordially invited to attended. Please note arrive early as parking
is anticipated to be a problem. The parade accessible off Interstate 95
at either exit 89 or 90. Just follow the signs for directions.
STARTING POINT - SOUTH LOT
MYSTIC SEAPORT
ENDING POINT – WATER STREET DOWNTOWN MYSTIC
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.
