Parade Entries
The structure of the Parade is under the control of our Parade Director whose task it is to ensure that all parade entries conform to the theme of the Toronto St. Patrick’s Parade and also with the requirements set out by the City of Toronto for our event.
Commercial Entry
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 Entry
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.

Irish 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.
