More Information:
A Toronto tradition for more than 100 years, the Santa Claus Parade returns to put smiles on the faces of families all across the city. The parade has come a long way since it first began in 1905, when Santa first walked down the streets from Union Station to the Eaton Centre, waving to children along the way. Today the elaborate celebration consists of more than 25 different-themed floats, 22 bands, 100 celebrity clowns, more than 1,500 volunteers, and the big man himself, Santa.
The parade starts at 12:30 p.m. at Christie Pitts, moves east to Avenue Road, around Queen's Park and south to Front. On Front Street it turns east and ends at Front and Jarvis streets, ending at St Lawrence Market. A map of the route is available here. Make sure to arrive early for a good spot as space fills up fast. It's also always a good idea to bundle up and bring a hot drink in a reusable mug to stay warm waiting for St. Nick.
