Lac La Biche Festival of Trees

Discover the magic of the holiday season in the Festival of Trees Wonderland.

Such a remarkable event, with all the proceeds going to non-profits whose objective is to enhance the lives of children & youth in our local communities.

Attending the Festival of Trees is FREE! Instead, we ask you to bring and donate a non-perishable food item, new or gently used warm clothing, an unwrapped toy or stuffed animal or monetary donation instead of an entry fee. Donations will be going to Waskaysoo Food Bank, Stone Soup, Out of the Elements, Hopes Closet and Santa’s Helpers.

There are so many amazing fundraisers and activities during the festival. We will list them all here. Please see the event calendar for more details on some events. Unless noted, all events are at the Bold Center.

Tree ticket sales are at numerous locations November 10th to 20th and at the Festival Nov 21st to 24th.
