The parade marshalling area for the floats was Rosedale Valley Road.

The area of Church Street & Bloor Street East where the Parade starts
and the floats and marchers merge.

One of the parade entires performing for a few spectators.

I like to stop and say
“Hi!”
to the important people
first,
then I talk to
the human
on the
other end of the leash.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I wonder who he lassoed
to get kissed
“there”!
|

|

Check out those
socks!

I witnessed this pair as spectators.
They may have been waiting for one of the later floats.

The end of the Parade reaches the starting point
and it is now time for the clean-up crew to get busy.
The City of Toronto is to be commended on its effectiveness in cleaning up
after such an event, as the barracades come down and the street sweepers
follow close on the tail of the Parade, a mere two hours from when it started.

Two hours and forty minutes from when the Parade started at Bloor & Church Streets, the end is just Yonge & College Streets, and I am sure some of these people have been here since noon.
|
|
That’s all Folks!
See you next year!
