About Astro Parade

For more than forty years, Astro Parade Float Materials Ltd. has helped Canadians create memorable, award‑winning parade floats. We used to design and build custom floats and also supported DIY builders with expert advice, detailed plans, and a complete range of decorating materials—including floral sheeting, vinyl twist, fringe, signage, and colourful cut‑out letters.

Parades bring communities to life. Whether in a small town or a major city, they draw crowds, spark excitement, and set the tone for festivals, fairs, and celebrations. They generate goodwill, entertain visitors, and offer businesses, clubs, charities, and organizations a vibrant way to showcase their presence and appreciation. Parades also attract valuable media attention, from local coverage to national broadcasts, along with countless photos and videos from spectators.
