Organizers of Central Alberta’s premier Christmas community fundraiser, Red Deer Festival of Trees, have now announced details for this year’s event.

Featured ticketed events in 2021 include Festival of Wines (November 26) and Mistletoe Magic (November 27). Tickets go on sale Monday, October 4^th at 10:00 am.

Officials say the public can also enjoy the beautiful Tree Room, a large silent auction, the Christmas Gift & Sweet Shop, and the perennial favourite for kids, Candy Cane Lane. All activities will take place at Westerner Park in the Exhibition Hall and Stockmens Pavilion from Nov. 26-28.

Festival of Trees will raise funds to support the purchase of critically needed equipment for the operating room at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.

Officials say volunteers play an integral role in the success of Festival of Trees, and this event involves the cooperative efforts of over 1,000 volunteers.
