CPKC Holiday Train begins 182-stop Journey of Music and Giving Nov. 19

Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) announced the 2026 CPKC Holiday Train program will kick off Nov. 19 in Montreal, beginning a 32-day journey in support of local food banks through music, celebration and giving, with stops in 182 communities across Canada and the United States.

Holiday Train Highlights

182 live music shows in six provinces and 13 U.S. states. The Holiday Train will visit 10 communities for the first time, with new stops in Missouri (Blue Springs), Mississippi (Meridian, Jackson), Louisiana (Vicksburg, Monroe, Ruston, DeQuincy, Leesville, Zwolle) and Texas (Port Arthur).
Performers include American Authors, Magic!, Maris, Chase Rice, Madeline Edwards, Allen Stone, Jamie Fine, Shawnee Kish, Rafaëlle Roy, Tyler Shaw, Sam Roberts Band, and Owen Riegling.
Since 1999, more than $28.3 million and over 5.6 million pounds of food for community food banks have been collected in Canada and the U.S.

For 28 years, the CPKC Holiday Train has brought communities together to support neighbours facing food insecurity. Today, millions of people across Canada and the U.S. continue to rely on food banks for assistance, making community support more important than ever. CPKC encourages attendees to bring a cash donation or non-perishable food item, with all contributions staying in the local community to help families in need.
