Annual Beaches Santa Claus Parade set for Sunday, Nov. 15, along Kingston Road

The annual Beaches Santa Claus Parade will take place on the afternoon of Sunday, Nov. 15.

The parade travels west along Kingston Road between Victoria Park Avenue and Walter Street, before heading north to Centre 55.

Presented by Centre 55, the parade is the local kickoff to the holiday season and also serves as a major fundraiser for the community’s annual Share A Christmas program that helps local residents in need at this time of year.

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.

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 will be there on his sleigh.

Centre 55’s Share A Christmas is in its 45th year and it will be helping more than 1,000 East Toronto families this season.

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