The original Toronto Santa Claus Parade sleighs its way back next month

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and a seasonal staple that has been deer-ly missed is making its way back to Toronto next month. 

The original Santa Claus Parade makes its terr-elf-ic return on Sunday, November 20 to the city streets, with seasonal floats, celebrity clowns, marching bands, and all of the endearing favourites of the 118-year-old tradition. 

Mayor John Tory released a video statement to announce the good news to the city. 

“I know how much children and families of Toronto, as well as people right across this great country, love this parade,” Tory said. “I’m very excited this parade will be back on the streets of Toronto again this year.” 

“Ho-ho-ho! It’s going to be incredible!” he concluded. 

According to Tory, there will be 26 colourful floats, including an Indigenous float. Additionally, the parade is set to have “more music and more entertainment than ever before.”
