The purpose of this page is to provide participants of the Toronto St. Patrick’s Day Parade with important details on where and when to assemble for the parade, as well as other key pieces of information all participants need to know.

Commercial Entries are mobile presentations created for, or by, our sponsors. Typically these entries consist of a float or a sponsor-provided vehicle bearing the sponsor's message.

Contract Entries are those that the St. Patrick's Parade Society contract, typically for a fee, to provide additional entertainment value to the Parade. Typically Contract Entries consist of bands, costumed characters or other types of entries that we feel would add to the enjoyment of the Parade.

Participation in the Parade by local Irish social organizations and groups has been a part of the Parade since its debut and is what sets the Toronto St. Patrick's Parade apart from most others. Community entries are non-profit groups including County Associations, Irish social groups, Irish athletic organizations and Irish cultural groups.

Typically, there is no fee to participate in the Parade as a Community Entry however, organizations must submit an application form to the Parade Director in advance. Application does not guarantee acceptance and you will be contacted by the Parade Director to confirm your participation in the Parade and to provide further details.
