Events Description
The Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) Holiday Train program is returning to the rails to raise money, food, and awareness for food banks and hunger issues across Canada and the United States.
Two trains will make the festive journey, travelling through both the U.S. and Canada to bring holiday cheer to many communities along CPKC’s network. Each event is free, with CPKC encouraging attendees to open their cupboards and wallets to help address hunger needs in their communities. Local food banks will be accepting donations at each stop to ensure those less fortunate have enough healthy food this holiday season.
Holiday Train is about 1,000 feet in length with 14 rail cars decorated with hundreds of thousands of technology-leading LED lights and a modified boxcar that has been turned into a travelling stage for performers.
Performers: Anyway Gang — Dave Monks (Tokyo Police Club), Sam Roberts (Sam Roberts Band), Menno Versteeg (Hollerado), and Chris Murphy (Sloan).
