Festival of Trees starts Friday at Civic Centre

The 28th annual Festival of Trees is back at the Prince George Civic Centre from Friday to Dec. 5 after being a virtual event in 2020 because of the pandemic restrictions.

This year’s theme is A Homegrown Christmas and as always there are a host of special events along with public viewing of the trees. People can visit the Gift Shoppe while children enjoy Story Time With Santa and the children’s activities area.

Proceeds of the event go to the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation that says ‘help us make a difference for patients right here at home in the North... where we live, work and play.”

Be sure to check out the schedule for all public opening times, the Fashion Show, Yoga - Namaste to Start Your Day, the Small Business Christmas Party, the Santa Breakfast, the Seniors’ Luncheon, the Business Lunch, the Senior’s Tea, the Gala Fundraising Auction and the ever-popular Teddy Bear Breakfast.

General admission during the times the public can attend is $5 for 16+, youth 3 to 15 and seniors are $3 and for a family it’s $15. Visit www.festivaloftreespg.ca for the full schedule.
