The St. Patrick's Parade returns to downtown Toronto on Sunday, March 16. It is an amazing afternoon filled with music, dance, floats and fun! Everyone is welcome whether you were born in Ireland, have Irish ancestors or you're just looking for a great time!

The Parade has been entertaining tourists and Torontonians since 1988. It is a massive celebration of Irish-Canadian culture with thousands of participants and over 100 entries. This event is free to attend and fun for all ages. It takes place during March Break which makes it perfect timing for families to enjoy the festivities.

The Parade kicks off at noon at the corner of Bloor & St. George. It heads east across Bloor before turning south down Yonge Street. The Parade ends at Yonge & Dundas outside the Eaton Centre.

Being inclusive and helping those in need are part of the Parade's core values. Toronto's diversity is on full display with dozens of groups marching in support of their connections to Ireland and Canada. The Toronto Professional Firefighters Association will be collecting cash and canned goods on the Parade route in support of the Daily Bread Food Bank.

Throw on something green and join us! We hope to see you there.
