A must-see to this year’s entertainment program will be appearances from the Queen of the Detroit United Irish Societies f/k/a Maid of Erin Court, and the parade Grand Marshal Peggy Gray.  Also expected to attend will be plenty of lawyers, judges, elected leaders, and dignitaries from the Detroit Irish-American community.  We will also feature our annual raffle for the ISIAL scholarship fund.
