This
Year’s
Theme


The Theme of the 2024 Dundas Cactus Parade is “Around the World”.

The Dundas Cactus Parade Committee, recognizes the time and effort it takes to not only participate in the parade, but to also prepare for it. To acknowledge the hard work exemplified by our entries, we offer a variety of awards that participants are eligible to win. The winners are selected by our special event judges during the live event.

This year we are excited to announce the inclusion of a new award titled, Best Sport Initiative. For a full listing of our award categories, please visit our Winners page.

The first Cactus Festival lasted nine days and began with a parade. Although the parade was discontinued for a few years, it resumed in the early 1990’s to launch the annual August Dundas Cactus Festival on Thursday evening at 6:45 pm. Every year crowds line the streets of downtown Dundas to watch as the various floats, bands, performers and local participants march by, providing a full evening of entertainment for the entire family.

Parade sponsors are recognized throughout the parade, and volunteers walk with the parade collecting a “Toonies for Tunes” to help to defray the cost of hiring the excellent calibre of entertainment that makes the parade an annual success. The Parade was Incorporated in 2007 & continues to grow.
