November 23, 2020 Event Update

In response to the latest Province-Wide Restrictions that were handed down yesterday, we are extremely saddened to announce that the physical presence involving any active participation in the Virtual Santa Claus Parade is not permitted. While we had tediously worked through all aspects of the Provincial Health Authority’s risk management plan and had approval from the City, we must adhere to the latest restrictions with the goal being that everyone truly is #safeathome

Thankfully, our partnership with the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group has allowed us to honour Santa’s arrival starting at 3:00 pm Sunday December 6th on CKPG-TV in a variety of ways that will still feature our generous sponsors, allow for our Sofa Spud Contest as well as the MediChair Seniors Contest, and still see plenty of the Festival of Trees 2020 – Re-ReImagined showcased in many ways. There will be special messages throughout and a focus on the equipment that is being supported through this year’s Festival of Trees. We invite you to tune in, relax in the safety and comfort of your own home, participate in the contests, and still be part of the magic of Festival of Trees 2020 – Santa Claus Parade.

Please visit the 'Featured Events and Areas' Tab on this site to explore all the other goodies we have planned for you this year!

Thank you so much to our sponsors and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to bring the Festival to the community! Thank you for your understanding in this difficult time, stay safe and happy holidays!
