Beaches Santa Claus Parade set for this Sunday along Kingston Road

The annual Beaches Santa Claus Parade will take place along Kingston Road on the afternoon of Sunday, Nov. 16.

Presented by Centre 55, the parade not only welcomes Santa Claus to the community but also serves as the kickoff to fundraising for the annual Share A Christmas campaign which supports families in need during the upcoming holiday season.

First held in 2006, the Beaches Santa Claus parade has become a community tradition enjoyed by generations of residents.

As in past years, this year’s parade will start at Kingston Road and Victoria Park Avenue at 1 p.m. on Nov. 16.

The parade route will then head west along Kingston Road, before turning north at Walter Street, just before Main Street, and finishing at Centre 55 at Swanwick Avenue and Main Street.

The parade will feature numerous bands, marching groups from local businesses and organizations, and of course Santa Claus.

Centre 55’s Share A Christmas is in its 44th year and it will be helping more than 1,000 East Toronto families this season.
Share A Christmas is in need of cash donations, toys and volunteers to help make this year’s campaign a success.

Those attending this Sunday’s parade are reminded they can bring toonies for volunteers to collect. Toy donations can be dropped off after the parade at Centre 55.

The sponsor of this year’s Beaches Santa Claus Parade is Royal LePage Estate Realty.
