Toy Parade 2026: 25th edition on November 14, from Charlesbourg to Place Jean-Béliveau
Place Jean-Béliveau (ExpoCité)
On Saturday, November 14, 2026, the Toy Parade, presented by Promutuel Assurance, will hold its 25th edition in Quebec City. The parade starts at the corner of 50th Street and 1st Avenue in Charlesbourg, goes down 1st Avenue, takes Boisclerc Street and the Grand Marché alley, and ends at Place Jean-Béliveau, with its floats animated by characters, dancers, and musicians. Access to the route is free; a VIP option with seating is available. Since 2002, the parade has marked the launch of Christmas festivities in the city. The departure time will be specified by the organizer (sources: paradedesjouets.ca and Destination Québec cité, consulted on September 8, 2026). Voilà Québec's tip: the same weekend, the Salon du jeu et du jouet (Game and Toy Fair) takes place at the Centre de foires, next to Place Jean-Béliveau.
