You better watch out; you better not cry – Santa Claus is coming to town for the annual Toronto Santa Claus Parade.  

Celebrating 120 years of holiday magic on Sunday, Nov. 24, this year’s festivities are bigger than ever. Enjoy floats, bands, marchers, celebrity clowns along the 6km parade route in addition to hot drinks and fun surprises at Christie Pits and Queen’s Park North. 

To get you there with ease this year, GO Transit will be running special GO Train service on the Milton Line for people heading to the event.
