Montreal St. Patrick's Day Parade

During the three-hour parade, hundreds of floats, marching bands, performers and revellers march to celebrate the Irish community. Since 1824, this parade has been celebrated every year, making it the oldest and largest after New York’s parade. The St. Patrick's Day parade takes place on Ste- Catherine St. in downtown Montréal. It will leave from the corner of du Fort St. at 12:00 p.m. and head east as far as Dorchester Square.
