The 119th Original Santa Claus Parade, taking place in Toronto on Sunday, November 26, is a treasured and storied annual event that Canadians look forward to every holiday season. Attracting more than 750,000 attendees, it is the largest outdoor entertainment event held in the country each year.

Officially kicking off the festive season, the Original Santa Claus Parade will feature a stunning array of 27 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.

Once again this year, the 5km Holly Jolly Fun Run, which draws more than 1,000 participants, will kick off the celebrations and will lead the Parade, beginning at 11:45 am.  All proceeds generated from the run will support the Parade.

The Parade will start at 12:30 pm at Christie Pits, located at 750 Bloor Street West.  The new route will proceed east along Bloor Street to Spadina Avenue, then continue south on Spadina Avenue, east on Harbord Street and Hoskin Avenue, then south on Queens Park Crescent and University Avenue, east on Wellington Street, and south again on Yonge Street to Front Street. From there, the Parade will head east on Front Street and finish at the St. Lawrence Market at Jarvis Street.
