This year’s lineup features American Authors and Pynk Beard traveling from La Crescent to Minneapolis, then Lanco and Tiera Kennedy going from Loretto to Elbow Lake. Since each show is free admission, guests are urged to bring food or make a cash donation to area food banks. Every donation goes directly to the host community, making the event a lovely way to volunteer.
The train will pass through over a dozen towns in the state, culminating in Elbow Lake on December 17, prior to entering North Dakota. County officials are preparing for mass attendance with family outings to commemorate tradition, witness live entertainment, and promote charitable activity.
Canadian Pacific Holiday Train Encourages Giving and Community
The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train has also become one of North America’s favorite wintertime traditions, blending entertainment with charity. Since its initiation in 1999, it has garnered a multitude of dollars and harvested hundreds of thousands of pounds of non-perishable food items for community food depots.
Its mission goes beyond pomp. The train reaches both city and country communities, reminding people that the holiday season is a time for gift giving and coming together. And since every gift remains local, citizens see tangible benefits right in their towns and communities.
Families also say the experience is heartwarming and inspiring. The combination of music, holiday design, and common purpose makes each stop a festivity of light, kindness, and hope.
