Toronto Beaches Santa Claus parade route and road closures 2026

Toronto's annual Beaches Santa Claus Parade returns to the neighbourhood this weekend, which means residents can expect road closures as a procession of marching bands, floats, and Santa Claus (of course) makes its way through the streets.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the parade will kick off at 1 p.m. at Kingston Road and Victoria Park Avenue. From there, it will travel west along Kingston Road before turning north onto Walter Street. The procession will wrap up at Centre 55, near Swanwick Avenue and Main Street.

Centre 55, the community-based charity and organizer of the Beaches Santa Parade, will also host a free outdoor post-parade party.

Although the City of Toronto has not officially announced any road closures, residents should note that streets along the parade route will be temporarily closed to vehicular traffic on the day of the event.

The Beaches Santa Parade will take place on Nov. 15.
