The closer we get to the jolly season, the more reason there is to get out and join in the holiday spirit.

The annual Santa Claus Parade, which journeys through Toronto’s downtown core starting at Bathurst and Bloor and marching all the way to the St. Lawrence Market, again delighted parade-goers young and old Sunday afternoon, Nov. 18.

Viewers were treated to the best of displays by prominent sponsors and marching groups, including individual acts. Dressed in colourful costumes and masks, locals of all ages gathered to watch and to cheer on the festive floats and musical bands.

The Epoch Times took to the streets to capture some of the most memorable moments.
