The 27th annual Lakeshore Santa Claus parade, in west Toronto, commenced on Saturday, December 2nd, 2017 at 10:00 A.M. Despite the chilly weather, the sreets were lined with excited spectators.

The Tian Guo Marching Band received applause and well wishes from the crowd. The parade organizer told a band member that the band was placed at the end of the parade, just before the Santa Claus float, because the Tian Guo Marching Band is the best looking and best sounding band.
