In some cities, notably Toronto and Montreal, large scale St.
Patrick's Day parades are held, often on the Sunday closest to
March 17.
Toronto’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade is one of the largest in North
America. One of the must-do main events is the Grand
Marshal’s Ball where partygoers consume industrial quantities
of oysters and smoked salmon.
The parade in Montreal has been held every year since 1824.
However, the first recorded celebration of St Patrick's Day was
in 1759 by Irish soldiers serving with the British army following
their conquest of part of New France, a French colony in North
America. In some places there are Irish cultural events. For
instance, the Irish Association of Manitoba organizes a three-
day festival of Irish culture in the week of St Patrick's Day.
