The parade will begin at 12:30 pm, but if you plan on getting a good view of the big man in red, you’re going to want to head down early to get a good spot.
The Parade starts at Bloor and Christie Streets and travels along Bloor Street to University Avenue, and then finally end at the intersection of Front and Jarvis Streets at the St. Lawrence Market.
