A parade float taking part in Eaton's Santa Claus Parade on Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, November 17, 1962. This float features the fictional character Sinbad the Sailor. There are treasure chests of jewels and a giant papier-mache figure of Sinbad wearing a gold turban. Attracting large crowds, the annual Toronto Santa Claus Parade (also known as The Original Santa Claus Parade) was first held in 1905 and is one of the largest in North America and the oldest Santa Claus parade in the world. It used to terminate at the downtown Eaton's store (later the Eaton Centre).

It used to terminate at the downtown Eaton's store (later the Eaton Centre) at Yonge Street and Queen Street. Since Eaton's ceased its sponsorship of the parade in the 1980s, it has instead finished at St. Lawrence Market. By tradition, the parade concludes with the arrival of Santa Claus. This image is from an old amateur 35mm colour transparency. It will look soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1960s photograph.
