多伦多地区锡克人众多。他们来自印度和巴基斯坦交界的旁遮普地区（和中国不接壤）。不少锡克人希望将旁遮普从印度独立出去，建立自己的国家。也因此曾经武力反抗，包括导致了印航空难事故。这次的花车就有一辆是Free Punjab主题。
今天的Khalsa日花车游行据称是加拿大最大的花车巡游之一，不过无论花车的数量还是围观人数其实都不多。省长和市长都戴上锡克人的头巾参与了游行。参与游行以及之后聚餐的锡克人数量非常多，把市府前广场上上下下都挤满了。虽然有很多铺头热情的免费提供各种印度食物，可是排队的人实在太多。反倒是饮料、水果比较容易拿到，不需要排队。
花车队伍的最后是神圣的宗教圣物，很多民众拥上去抢米吃，跟点圣水差不多意思。
宗教祈祷区需要脱鞋才能进入
粉红色的饮料，很适应樱花季节。
