The Parade

The Original Santa Claus Parade returns to the streets of Toronto on Sunday, November 24th

We are excited to share that we will be back on the streets of Toronto in 2024! Join us on Sunday, November 24th for the return of amazing floats, bands, marchers, the Celebrity Clowns and of course, Mrs. Claus and Santa! We can’t wait to celebrate the return of The Original Santa Claus Parade with all of you!


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 120th Santa Claus Parade hit the streets of Toronto on  Sunday Nov 24th at 12:30, and was streamed LIVE and on demand on YouTube for the very first time. Be sure to subscribe to our channel and watch on your favourite YouTube supported device.
