The Original Santa Claus Parade

Since 1905, The Santa Claus Parade has kicked off the Christmas season, first in Toronto, then for the whole country as it has grown in popularity and importance throughout the years. The Parade brings people together, regardless of their background, celebrating hope, family and love. It’s part of the fabric of our community. Every year we bring hundreds of thousands of people on the streets of Toronto, and millions more watching at home, together to celebrate this joyous season. We’ve been doing so uninterrupted for 120 years, and that’s exactly what we will be doing again this year, bringing Santa’s magic to town. This year's Parade will take place on November 23, 2025....
