Here’s what to know about Toronto’s iconic St. Patrick’s Day parade this weekend

Get excited, friends! The St. Patrick’s Day parade is coming back to Toronto this Sunday, March 19th.

This is one of the most iconic parades in the city, and until last year, it had been on hiatus since 2019.

The parade will wind through the streets starting at 12 PM at the corner of St. George and Bloor St West, near St. George subway station.

It will then make its way east on Bloor Street, and head south on Yonge Street past Wellesley, College, and Dundas.

The line of march will then west on Queen Street to its final stop — the reviewing stand in Nathan Phillips Square.

Prepare for a lively afternoon filled with colourful floats, traditional music, and plenty of green.
