Proudly sponsored by Currency House, The Live Flag Float is a 48 Ft Tricolour that will be painted live throughout the parade by 12 year old youth hockey team Don Mills Mustangs Pee Wee Select.
The Tricolour flag has been recognised as the national flag of Ireland since it was first used in the 1916 Easter Rising and was recognised as the official flag of the Republic of Ireland in 1922. This year we celebrate the Easter Rising’s centennial as it is recognised as the catalyst of the Irish Revolution. The flag symbolises the aspiration of peace among different traditions.
The Live Flag Float is a never before seen display of Celebration and Team work & is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Be sure to cheer the painters on as they endeavour to paint every inch of the flag before the Parade comes to an end!
