Toronto Through My Lens
In a nutshell, St. Patrick’s Day observes the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The holiday has evolved into a celebration of Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, drinking (and more drinking, and more drinking) and the wearing of a whole lot of green.
Here’s a few shots of the parade that went down Yonge Street. In true Toronto style it proved to be a fully multi-cultural event:
This is such a lovely part of the city. I love how they fixed up that square and the fountain…
Now the puppies are nice and warm. Love this fountain.
Pretty sad but it’s time had come
What would be also nice is Ottawa's Remembrance Day Ceremony on November 11. Was there in 2024 and quite loved…
Well done Marv! I walk by this area so often and really take these for granted, but when you highlight…

That is very multicultural indeed! I don’t think I ever went to the parade when I lived in Toronto. On one hand, it’s nice that it’s open to everybody, but on the other hand, it makes it kind of the same as every other parade.
The parade is much bigger than I thought. It looked very colourful. And the rain held off.
