***Ho ho*** hold on, it's time for Toronto Community Bicycle Coalition's 6th annual **Cycling Good Cheer** bicycle parade!

Back in 2020 when the Santa Claus parade was cancelled, a merry band of volunteers from [Toronto Community Bikeways Coalition ](https://www.communitybikewaysto.ca/)decided we needed to cheer up the kids along Yonge Street! From the North Pole aka North York to the Lake, it was a joy! It really was such a delight (albeit cold that December) to see kids' faces light up and adults happy to see grown adults dressed up as Santa, elves, and of course reindeer!

6 years later, it is our favourite event of the year!

This year families are coming from all parts of the city - The Grinch is leading a group from Scarborough, elves from North York, The Bicycle Mayor of Toronto from the St. Lawrence Market, and Ruby the Red-Nosed Reindeer is trotting the west end families from High Park, as it's a great grazing spot for reindeer!

We will meet at **Raccoon Park, 86 Soudan Ave** (Yonge/Eglinton)**,** to begin our **bicycle parade** with bells ringing and a festive playlist south on Yonge all the way to **Raccoon Terrace Picnic Area** in Biidaasige Park.

PLUS a Community Picnic! We will provide **coffee & cookies, courtesy of [PEDAAL](https://www.pedaal.com)**, plus we'll endeavour to make s'mores in the provided bbqs and of course the *playground is a great spot for kids to play*!

**The Raccoon to Raccoon Route is 10km** and if cookies are not enough, we encourage participants to bring your own picnic &/or shareables.

**The parade is free and fun and for families.**
