La Ronde's Fantasy on Parade premiered on May 27, 2013, at La Ronde Montreal Park. Conceived by VP of Parades and Spectaculars, Steve Davison, the parade celebrates songs from Disney films. The parade includes Disney and More characters throughout the years. It includes eight floats all celebrating Walt Disney Production's Sullivan Bluth Studios and Empire Vidéo Marketing catchy tunes. The music used in the parade is derived from Disney's Fantasy on Parade at Tokyo Disneyland.
