CPKC Unveils the Festive Holiday Train for 2025
Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) is excited to announce this year's Holiday Train, a beloved tradition filled with music and community spirit. Scheduled to begin on November 19, the Holiday Train promises to deliver joy and support to numerous communities as it travels across diverse regions.
A Celebration of Music and Community Support
As the 27th iteration of the Holiday Train, this event serves a dual purpose: to entertain and to aid. Over the years, the train has raised more than $26 million and collected over 5.4 million pounds of food for local food banks in both Canada and the U.S. This festive celebration not only uplifts spirits but is a practical means of assisting those in need during the holiday season.
Live Music Highlights for the 2025 Tour
This year's Holiday Train will feature an impressive lineup of artists including well-known names like Barenaked Ladies and Smash Mouth. The festivities will encompass 196 live music performances across six provinces and 13 states. Notably, the train will visit communities in Maine, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, and Ontario for the first time.
CPKC's Commitment to Communities
Keith Creel, the President and CEO of CPKC, expressed immense pride in the railroaders who bring the Holiday Train to life each year. He highlighted the importance of the event in fostering a spirit of giving and community cohesion, especially for those facing food insecurity.
The Impact of Local Food Donations
Representatives from food organizations, like Mary Ostapenko Anstett from East Side Neighborhood Services, emphasized that the Holiday Train goes beyond just providing donations; it brings hope and vital support to those in need. By uniting community partners, CPKC makes significant strides toward ensuring food access for everyone.
Enjoy the Festive Atmosphere
Engaging musical performances and the dazzling display of the brightly decorated Holiday Train contribute to the joyful ambiance of the season. All events are free, and CPKC encourages attendees to support local food banks by making donations during each stop along the way.
