For the 27th year, Canadian Pacific’s Holiday Train will be touring Canada and the U.S. while raising money, food and awareness to support food banks. This year’s schedule is set for Nov. 19 through Dec. 2, with two stops here in Illinois.

Each year, the dazzling festive train invites guests to experience the holiday spirit by enjoying the vibrant colorful lights, live music, and giving to local charities. The musicians play for free as the train rolls across the rails spreading holiday cheer. Once the train stops at its destination, the doors open, the stage lowers, and the music kicks off! 

Canadian Pacific’s Holiday Train will be returning to Illinois during the upcoming holiday season, with four stops scheduled. This favorite holiday tradition features a bright light display, live music, and an appearance from Santa Claus. 

The CPKC Holiday Train begins its tour of Canada and the United States on November 20 and continues through December 19. The first stop in Illinois is scheduled for Saturday, November 25, in Bensenville. Each stop on the tour includes 30 minutes of live musical performances from well-known artists. The annual tour raises money for food banks across the U.S. and Canada., and donations are collected for local charities.
