The Original Santa Claus Parade Celebrates 121 Years.
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.
The Parade, a living canvas of wonder and joy that is free for all spectators, will feature 27 breathtaking hand-crafted floats, spirited marching bands, and an array of exciting performers. It is poised to enchant more than 750,000 paradegoers, with a host of viewers tuning in to watch it live at 1 pm ET on Citytv and Citytv+ via the Parade’s new broadcast partner, Citytv.
