The iconic CPKC Holiday Train — formerly known as the CP Holiday Train — is back for 2024, bringing festive magic to communities across Canada and the U.S.
This year marks the 26th anniversary of the holiday tradition, which will run from November 21 to December 20, 2024. Not only does the train light up the night with its stunning holiday décor, but it also brings free concerts featuring some of today’s best musicians — all in support of local food banks.
At each stop, the CPKC Holiday Train is hosting live performances from artists like Tyler Shaw, Alana Springsteen, Magic!, KT Tunstall and many more. It’s the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit while also helping your community — while entry is free, CPKC encourages attendees to bring food or monetary donations for their local food banks.
The train’s route covers 104 stops in Canada, 10 of which are in Quebec, so you’re bound to have a chance to get in on the holiday magic!
