For over a century, the Santa Claus Parade has marked the start of the Christmas season in Toronto and across Canada.

It brings joy to people from all walks of life, celebrating family, love, and hope. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people gather on the streets of Toronto, and millions more watch from home, to experience the magic of Christmas. This year, we’ll continue this wonderful tradition, bringing Santa Claus to the city.

This year’s 120th Santa Claus Parade will hit the streets of Toronto on Sunday Nov 24th at 12:30 pm. The starting location will be at Christie Pits Park, where freebies will be provided such as cookies and milk by Circle K from 10:30 am. As well as live performance for kids.

In the middle point of the parade, at Queen’s Park, Tim Hortons will offer free hot chocolate or coffee, among other freebies and live-music performance.

Finally, the parade will end at St. Lawrence Market. Please see the map below for more details.
