Community Entry

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.
