![The Bulletin: When you're lucky enough to be Irish in Montreal [Issue #68]](https://storage.ghost.io/c/00/e5/00e5bf23-2b72-4a48-92bb-496245b79d2a/content/images/2024/03/024_VM94-0603191200-0006-1.jpg)
There's a lot of talk about the uncertain future of festivals both in Montreal and across the country, but we're thinking nothing—and we mean nothing—is going to get in way of a Saint Patrick's Day Parade in Montreal (except for maybe those two years when the world shut down).
We're come so far: This year's edition on Sunday marks the 199th parade overall, and more than 200,000 spectators are expected to line the route what is Canada's longest-running parade (FYI the event starts at noon at de Maisonneuve Blvd. and Fort St., running eastward along de Maisonneuve to Jeanne-Mance St. next to Place des Arts). There will be 95 groups participating this year, including 10 marching bands, 20 floats and more than 2,500 participants.
