The Original Santa Claus Parade 2026

The Original Santa Claus Parade returns to Toronto on 2026-11-22 for its 122nd edition. The free event begins at 12:30 pm at Christie Pits and travels through Downtown Toronto before finishing at Front and Jarvis near St. Lawrence Market. The parade features floats, marching bands, Celebrity Clowns and Santa, creating a lively way to experience Toronto’s streets and neighbourhood connections. A Holly Jolly 5K Fun Run precedes the parade, so visitors can plan around both activities. For anyone exploring Toronto real estate, local events can be a helpful way to become more familiar with different areas and routes.
