See the Santa Claus Parade in Toronto

The city of Toronto in Canada will be getting into the Christmas spirit in November when it hosts its annual Santa Claus Parade.

Having been held for more than 100 years, the event is a highly popular tradition in Toronto.

More than 1,500 volunteers will be taking part in the parade on November 15th this year, as well as dozens of floats and marching bands, around 200 clowns and, of course, Santa Claus himself.

Santa has made some impressive entrances in the past, being pulled by live reindeer, carried on a horse-drawn cart and even flown in on a plane.

The Santa Claus Parade begins at the corner of Bloor and Christie streets and passes along thoroughfares including University Avenue and Queen Street.

It comes to an end at the corner of Front and Church streets.

Toronto is home to several attractions that travellers can visit during their trip, such as the CN Tower and the Royal Ontario Museum.

Flights to Toronto are provided by Air Transat, British Airways, Air Canada and other carriers.
