Ride with GO Transit to The Original Santa Claus Parade on Sunday, November 23, and kick off the holiday season in style. This year marks 121 years of festive magic in Toronto, and the celebration is set to be bigger, brighter, and more joyful than ever. Start your day at Christie Pits with a pre-parade party featuring free surprise treats for the whole family! Then head to Queen’s Park North, where 98.1 CHFI will be broadcasting live with wall-to-wall Christmas music, popular mascots, hot beverages and more. Finally, grab your perfect spot along the 6 km parade route to watch floats, bands, Celebrity Clowns, Mrs. Claus, and Santa himself make his magical appearance. Let GO Transit be your sleigh this season—bringing you right to the heart of the celebration, so all you have to do is soak in the wonder and make merry memories. Being There Is Believing!
