The Festival of Trees is celebrating its 31st year, marking more than three decades of bringing the community together in a magical winter wonderland.
This year, the festival is introducing an enchanting outdoor market and a festive Santa Claus parade.
Organized by the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation, the Festival of Trees offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, with tree displays and vibrant decorations.
This year’s proceeds will go toward purchasing the StarGuide, an essential piece of medical equipment aimed at strengthening cancer and cardiac care in Northern BC. The StarGuide will allow for quicker imaging, improving patient comfort and enabling loved ones to receive critical care close to home.
