Jake’s House Annual Holiday Parties
Jake’s House hosts fun and interactive events, designed to bring the community together and empower families living with autism to celebrate in safe and entertaining environments. Our signature event, the Jake’s House Annual Holiday Party, has been bringing joy to families in Ontario for 20 years. This year’s parties will be hosted in Toronto and Ottawa. We are inviting families from London to join us in Toronto, with complimentary transportation option available with limited seating.

We welcome families to celebrate with us in Toronto, Ottawa and London to join us at our events.
After realizing that all too many people with autism weren’t receiving invitations to holiday events, we committed to creating a warm and welcoming place for them and their families to celebrate the season together—and so the annual Jake’s House Holiday Party was born.
Built on a foundation of understanding, inclusivity and support, we aimed for the celebration to create a sense of belonging and community, and to spread faith and joy during the holidays. In 2004, we hosted our first party, an intimate affair with approximately 100 guests. Since then, our Holiday Party has grown in size, support and spirit.
In 2018, we welcomed over 2000 happy guests in Toronto and introduced our celebration to the families in Ottawa! In 2022, we grew our parties to our families in London.
Ensuring accessibility and comfort, these parties are complementary and are well-staffed with helpful volunteers. They feature fun, interactive elements, such as an arts & crafts station, bouncy castles and a photo booth; and they offer lunch and treats, like popcorn, snow cones and cotton candy, all made to order. Finally, the highlight is always the visit from Santa, who delivers hand-picked gifts to every child in the room—and plenty of good cheer. We hope to ring in the next festive season with you!
