Santa Claus is coming to town!
This weekend, the city’s east end is welcoming back a cherished holiday tradition, with the return of the annual Beaches Santa Claus Parade. Taking place on Sunday, November 15, the beloved neighbourhood event draws thousands of families together to ring in the season.
Falling one weekend before Toronto’s own Santa Claus Parade, visitors will get a more intimate community experience, filled with colourful festive floats, marching bands, and familiar costumed characters – and of course, an early glimpse of Santa Claus himself.
Organized by Community Centre 55, the event is designed to be far more than a typical procession; it’s a full-fledged neighbourhood gathering.
Admission along the route is completely free, making it an easy and memorable way to jumpstart your holiday festivities with the whole family.
The parade kicks off at 1:00 p.m. at the corner of Victoria Park Avenue and Kingston Road, traveling through the heart of the community before finishing at Community Centre 55 on Main Street.
