The Mystic Irish Parade Foundation has reveled in Irish spirit all month long in preparation of the annual parade day! Over a decade ago, a few of friends joined together to celebrate their Celtic heritage. In an effort to continue their good spirit and cultural traditions with their beloved community, they decided to start planning what is now the most renowned parade in Eastern CT!

The Mystic Irish Parade Foundation continues to celebrate each year as an 100% volunteer driven organization, supported by team members dedicated to promoting Irish heritage and organizing a spectacular parade for the community! The MIPF is a registered 501c3 nonprofit and all donations are tax deductible.

Each year, a sliver of Ireland is brought to the small town of Mystic, Connecticut and friends & family from near and far celebrate together in support of the Mystic Irish Parade Foundation! This organization is composed of an outstanding team of local residents, business leaders and community volunteers. The dedicated team plans, executes and delivers an unforgettable Mystic Irish Parade that has transformed into Mystic’s largest single day celebration!

The parade, funded by proceeds from events, the generosity of local business sponsorships and individual sale of raffle tickets, is an annual celebration that has become a community wide cultural tradition. Surplus funds from the Mystic Irish Parade are donated to local charities in the area.
