Events Description
You won’t want to miss what the 2026 Parade has in store!
Officially kicking off the Christmas season, this 122nd edition of the Original Santa Claus Parade will feature a stunning array of diverse, beautifully decorated floats, lively bands, spirited marchers, and Celebrity Clowns.
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 more than a centuary, and that’s exactly what we will be doing again this year, bringing Santa’s magic to town.
