All your GTA Santa Claus Parades


I'm a bit late off the gun with the Christmas season this year. Hard to believe we're already almost halfway through November.

If you're looking to boost the holiday spirit, here's a full list of Santa Claus parades happening around the GTA, along with routes and road closures. If I've missed one, mention it in the comments and I'll add it to the list.

A lot of hard working volunteers put months of effort into creating the magic, so get out, support them, and have a great time. Don't forget you can also catch most of the parades on either Rogers TV or Cogeco TV. Check your local listings.
