Essential storage supports sign-in, security, language and your cookie choice. These are kept separate from optional analytics.

Separately, we count daily views of public pages without cookies or persistent visitor identifiers, regardless of your cookie choice. We do not link these counts to accounts or store IP addresses or browser information in metrics logs. View records expire after 30 days and daily summaries after 365 days. See the privacy policy for details.

Optional analytics uses Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to count page visits and navigation. It may collect cookie identifiers, browser and device information, and approximate location. Data is sent to Google and may be processed outside Canada. It loads only after you allow it.

Google Analytics excludes private pages and does not intentionally receive names, email addresses, post content or URL search terms. We do not use it for advertising personalization. Your choice lasts about six months in this browser. You can change it here at any time. Withdrawing stops future Google Analytics collection; it does not erase data already received by Google.

The Original Santa Claus Parade 2026

About This Event

Toronto’s 122nd Original Santa Claus Parade brings floats, marching bands and Santa to the streets.

Time and route

The in-person parade starts November 22 at 12:30 pm EST; the Citytv broadcast begins at 2 pm. Passing times vary by viewing location. A confirmed finish time was not available, so none is supplied here.

The parade starts at Christie Street and Bloor Street West, heads east on Bloor and turns south onto Yonge Street, passing the Eaton Centre and Sankofa Square. It finishes at Front Street and Jarvis Street.

Use the official 2026 route map and road-closure table to choose a spot and plan transit. Closures affect roads including Queen’s Park, Bloor, Yonge, University and Front at different times; a road reopening time is not the parade finish time.

Before you go

Dress for an outdoor wait and wear comfortable shoes. The official information reviewed did not specify a route-viewing admission price or reservation requirement, so the price field is unset. Check current organizer guidance and distinguish donations or separate paid experiences from ordinary route viewing.
