Last year was the parade’s largest one ever – at 32 epic floats. With its thousands of dancers, clowns, and people in animal costumes, this year’s Santa Claus spectacle promises to be just as grand.

One difference will be its route. For the first time ever, the parade starts at Parliament and Bloor at 12:30 p.m, then makes its way over to the St. Lawrence Market through Bloor, University and Wellington streets.
