Events Description

 

You won’t want to miss what the 2023 Parade has in store!

Officially kicking off the Christmas season, this 119th edition of the Original Santa Claus Parade will feature a stunning array of 26 diverse, beautifully decorated floats, lively bands, spirited marchers, and Celebrity Clowns. Notable highlights for this year include: a brand- new float starring Mrs. Claus leading the North Pole’s command centre, Santa’s reconstructed float showcasing newly animated reindeers, and the special debut of an all- new Mother Goose float. The Parade will feature fan-favourite floats from sponsors including: McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada, Winterfest at Canada’s Wonderland, Canadian Tire Ltd., Prime Video, MLSE, Metro, Desjardins, Tim Hortons, Volkswagen, Pizza Pizza, CTV, LEGO, Hudson’s Bay, Zellers, Cineplex, IMAX, Nintendo of Canada Ltd., and 98.1 CHFI. Partners include: McCann Canada, 2 Edery & Lord Communications, GO Transit, Branded Cities, Siphon Strategy, Toronto Star, Government of Ontario, and Thompson Terminals Limited.

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