Fundraising for the Parade

The on-going success of the Dundas Cactus Festival Parade depends on the generosity of people and organizations who give tirelessly of their time to help organize and run the event and those who provide sponsorships and donations of money to provide the funding of the wonderful bands and entertainment, each year.

We are most grateful for every contribution and would like to thank those who participate and contribute through our fundraising efforts, throughout the year.

“Toonies for Tunes” was instituted as a collection of volunteered donations on Parade Day. These toonies go directly to cover the cost of bands for the parade.
