Mystic in Motion: Nautical Tales & Nature Trails

Описание: Get ready for the greenest weekend in Coastal Connecticut! We’re taking you to the heart of the Greater Mystic area for a double-header of community spirit, athleticism, and a historic look forward.

In this video, we capture the high energy of the Mystic Irish Fun Run, where hundreds of runners (and plenty of costumed characters) hit the pavement to kick off the festivities. Following the race, grab your spot on the sidewalk for the legendary Mystic Irish Parade—one of the largest and most vibrant celebrations of Celtic culture in New England!

📍 What’s Inside:

The Fun Run: Catch the start line energy and the best costumes of the year. https://GrotonCT.MyRec.com

The Main Event: Highlights from the Mystic Irish Parade featuring pipe bands, local floats, and Irish dancers.

The Road to 2026: We’re also talking about America 250. As one of the most historic maritime towns in the country, Mystic is already gearing up for the 250th anniversary of the United States. We’ll show you why this area is the perfect backdrop for celebrating our nation's history.
