CPKC Holiday Train

About this event

The always popular Canadian Pacific Kansas City Holiday Train will return to the rails this season!

About the Holiday Train

The CPKC Holiday Train is an annual, brightly decorated train that will travel across Canada and the U.S. from November 19 through December 20, 2026. The primary goal of the tour is to raise money, food, and awareness for food banks along the CPKC network.

Attendees are invited to enjoy a free concert performed by professional musicians from the train's own stage. At every stop, CPKC makes a donation to the local food bank and encourages everyone in attendance to bring a monetary donation or heart-healthy, non-perishable food items.

Since its first journey in 1999, the Holiday Train program has successfully raised more than $26 million and collected over 5.4 million pounds of food for communities in both countries.
