Fun and Laughter at St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Toronto

First parade after two years of cancelations due to the pandemic – the Sunday’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Toronto was a blast! An explosion of Irish energy and lot of fun, way over the expectations!

Thousands of people lined up the streets enjoying the parade: marching bands, floats, mascots, Irish music and dancing. Joining the parade in our multicultural city were Chinese, Japanese and Mexican colourful dancers. And a few surprises: the shiny appearance of the “Silver Elvis”, Miss Toronto Tourism and a column of DMC DeLorean sport cars.
