Santa for Everybody
Every year on a certain day in November several major streets in Toronto are filled with crowds of people. They come to greet Santa Claus and to participate in a very colorful parade. In reality it becomes celebration of coming winter. The crowd is diverse – people of different cultural and religious backgrounds, of all ages.
The series is about anticipation and preparations to the parade.
It is still in progress – each year brings a bit different understanding of this event.
Santa for Everybody from Kirill Surov is now online. Enjoy!
