Let your senses delight in the twinkling lights, glitter, and sparkle while enjoying the delicious gingerbread aroma wafting from the Cookie House or incredible displays at Gingerbread Lane.
Experience engaging entertainment like photos with Santa, Enchanted story time, free face painting, and character meet & greets at our Fantasy Castle.

Proceeds

Our purpose is to engage the community in an event that celebrates the holiday season through special events, attractions and decorated displays while raising funds to support our beneficiary, Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation. 
For many patients of Saskatoon City Hospital, their journey starts with medical imaging. In 2023-2024 more than 15,000 people had CT scans at SCH. For many patients and conditions, it’s the best way to diagnose illness and determine treatments. After many years of hard work, the CT is nearing end-of-life. A new CT is essential to avoid cancelling procedures.

Your support of the 2024 Saskatoon Festival of Trees will assure prompt access to imaging, and a leading-edge CT that takes clearer pictures faster with less exposure. This means more safety and comfort for patients, while providing the most accurate diagnoses and treatment decisions.
