All Aboard! Canadian Pacific Holiday Train Plans Stops In Kimball & Annandale
The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is scheduled to be rolling through parts of Minnesota again this year. The train features performances from musical acts while also raising money and collecting food for local food banks along the way. This year the train is expected to make 19 stops in Minnesota including performance stops in Kimball, Annandale, and Buffalo.
According to the Canadian Pacific Kansas City Railroad website:
"The 2024 CPKC Holiday Train will tour Canada and the U.S. Nov. 21 through Dec. 20, raising money, food and awareness to support food banks across our network. Professional musicians play free concerts from the brightly decorated train's stage. CPKC donates to the local food bank at each stop and encourages all attendees to make a monetary or heart-healthy food donation. Since its inaugural journey in 1999, the CPKC Holiday Train has raised more than $24.3 million and collected approximately 5.3 million pounds of food for community food banks in Canada and the U.S."
This year, like years in the past, there are various artists and bands scheduled to perform, but it changes at certain points, like in Minnesota the musical change over happens after the train goes through Minneapolis.
