The Original Santa Claus Parade returns live on the streets of Toronto on Sunday, November 26th

We are excited to share that we will be back on the streets of Toronto in 2023! Join us on Sunday, November 26th 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!

In addition to the Parade appearing live on the streets of Toronto on Sunday, November 26th, be sure to watch the Parade on CTV. (date and time to be announced)

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 119 years, and that’s exactly what we will be doing again this year, bringing Santa’s magic to town.

Live on the Streets of Toronto November 26th 2023

The 119th Original Santa Claus Parade returns to CTV, CTV.ca, and the CTV app on Saturday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
