Get excited, friends! The Toronto Santa Claus Parade is making an in-person comeback this Sunday, November 20th.

This parade has been a Toronto tradition since 1905 and this weekend, it will delight the city with a big dose of holiday cheer.

All are welcome to gather and witness the amazing floats make their way through the streets — with Mrs. Claus and Santa in tow, of course!

The parade draws hundreds of thousands of spectators each year, with millions more watching from home, according to the parade’s website.

The parade takes place live on the street at 12:30 PM with incredible floats, bands, marchers, the Celebrity Clowns, and the Big Guy himself.

The parade will start at Christie Pits park and make its way along Bloor St West to Queen’s Park Circle, down University Ave, ending up at St. Lawrence Market.

After the parade, Toronto’s Juno Vet is hosting a free pet photo shoot with Santa. You can sip hot cocoa and get a complimentary photo of your fur baby posing with Old Saint Nick and a goodie bag to take home.

Stay tuned for additional info about road closures and transit changes during the parade.

With holiday festivities in full swing again this year, we’ve got no doubt that this year’s parade will be as big and exciting as ever.
