Toronto’s Original Santa Claus parade is set to celebrate its 120th year on Sunday, aiming to spread holiday cheer to an estimated 750,000 spectators. The six-kilometer parade will feature 27 hand-crafted floats and over 2,000 performers.
David McCarthy, chair of the Original Santa Claus Parade board of directors, expressed excitement about the event, saying, as quoted by CBC News, “We’re expecting to bring the magic back to the city of Toronto again this year.”
Pre-parade activities
Festivities will begin at 10 am at Christie Pits, where children can write letters to Santa, enjoy cookies, and watch a performance by Wiggles star Emma Memma before she joins the parade.
At 11:45 am, the Holly Jolly Run—a five-kilometer race with nearly 2,000 participants—will kick off the day. Mayor Olivia Chow will deliver remarks at 12:15 p.m., officially launching the parade.

Parade route
Starting at 12:30 pm at Christie Pits, the parade will follow a modified six-kilometer route due to construction. The procession will travel east along Bloor Street, south on St George Street, and weave through the city before concluding at St Lawrence Market around 3 pm.

Where to watch?
The parade will be live-streamed on the Santa Claus Parade YouTube channel, offering an alternative to the traditional television broadcast.

Funding challenges
While the parade’s milestone anniversary brings excitement, organizers warn its future is uncertain due to declining sponsorships and rising costs. A $250,000 funding gap remains for this year’s event.
A GoFundMe campaign has raised over $125,000 as of Sunday, and recent contributions from the city, province, and a pledge of federal support from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have provided hope. However, McCarthy stressed the need for ongoing community and corporate backing to secure future parades.
