Santa Under the Stars Parade

Date - Saturday, November 23, 2024
Time - 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The parade will travel southbound along Yonge Street from Orchard Heights Boulevard to Murray Drive.

This night time parade is full of magic, with beautifully decorated floats, incredible marching bands and a few special guests including the Jolly man-in-red himself. Remember to bring your letters for Santa as Canada Post will be out collecting them before the parade begins.
