St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Toronto 2017 route and road closures

The St. Patrick's Day Parade in Toronto is back for 2017 with all manner of Irish cheer, eclectic floats, and, of course, road closures. The annual march in celebration of Ireland's patron saint will go down on Sunday, March 19 at 12 p.m.
