A train covered in holiday lights, a stage inside a boxcar and a free concert in Toronto’s west end. The CPKC Holiday Train rolls into the city on Sunday, November 29, 2026, with live performances by American Authors and Canadian singer Tyler Shaw.

The show runs from 8:30 to 9 p.m. at 750 Runnymede Road. Bundle up and give yourself time to find a spot before the train pulls in. Once it stops, a boxcar opens to reveal the stage, the musicians play a short set, and the train rolls on.
