The magical annual CPKC Holiday Train returns for the holiday season, touring Canada and the U.S. from November 19th through December 21st, providing a magical experience while raising money, food, and awareness to support local food banks.

Returning for its 27th season, this iconic winter tradition will present free concerts featuring artists on the brightly decorated train’s stage. CPKC donates to the local food bank at each stop and encourages guests to donate monetary or heart-healthy food. The donations will go towards local food banks as part of the holiday spirit.
