The annual Beaches Santa Claus Parade saw large crowds along Kingston Road to take in the event.

This year’s parade featured numerous marching groups from local organizations and businesses, bands, local politicians, and of course Santa Claus.

Presented by Centre 55, the parade marks the beginning of fundraising for the centre’s Share A Christmas campaign.

The Parade Marshal was Olympic gold medallist Aaron Brown who grew up in East Toronto.

Sponsor for this year’s parade was Fearless Meat on Kingston Road.

Erin Horrocks-Pope was at the parade on Sunday, Nov. 17, and took numerous photos for Beach Metro Community News.
