Holiday Train Chugging Through 4 Upstate NY Cities Nov 25th & 26th

All aboard! Get ready for the Canadian Pacific festive train to chug through four Upstate New York cities Monday, November 25th and Tuesday, November 26th just in time for the holidays and for a great cause.

What is the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train?

A big, festive train will be covered in holiday lights, and a special car in the center of the cargo train will turn into a stage for live shows at every stop.

James Barker Band and Clerel entertainers will perform at the 2024 Holiday Train in the Capital Region and Adirondack Area. These events are free. Participants are asked to bring food donations for local food banks or money to donate. 

It's the twenty-sixth anniversary of the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train. Since they began the Holiday Train program in 1999, they've gathered over five million pounds of food and more than $22.5 million to support local food banks.

According to the President and CEO of the event, Keith Creel,

We are proud to support local food banks as we fight food insecurity by collecting food and raising money and awareness. I am grateful to all the railroaders and community members who have supported the Holiday Train over the past quarter century and made it such a success.
