Parade des jouets

<p><strong>The Parade des jouets Celebrates Its 25^th Anniversary!</strong><br>For 25 years, the Parade des jouets has marked the beginning of the holiday season in Québec City. For this special anniversary edition, the parade returns bigger and more spectacular than ever with a true open-air production where imagination, music, entertainment, and beloved characters take over the streets. Far more than a traditional Christmas parade, the Parade des jouets transforms the city into a giant outdoor theatre. Each of the 15 illuminated floats tells a story and comes to life through 60 colourful scenes. More than 325 performers and participants, including actors, dancers, professional musicians, circus artists, buglers, and brass musicians, will join forces on and around the floats to deliver a festive and spectacular show for audiences of all ages.</p> <p><strong>The Route</strong><br>The parade will begin at 2:30 p.m. at the corner of 50th Street and 1^st Avenue in Charlesbourg. It will travel along 1^st Avenue before continuing onto Boisclerc Street and Grand Marché Alley, ending at Place Jean-Béliveau. Arrival times are approximate and may vary.</p> <p><strong>VIP Grandstands</strong><br>An enhanced VIP grandstand experience awaits!<br>Ticket holders will enjoy access to a prime viewing area and, before the parade arrives, will be treated to entertainment and food trucks. And because a 25^th anniversary deserves something extra special, Chocolats Favoris will also offer gifts to spectators seated in the grandstands. Guests are encouraged to arrive at the time indicated on their ticket to fully enjoy the VIP experience before the parade begins.</p>
