Annual Christmas Tree Festival brings joy to southern Alberta

A beloved holiday tradition returns this weekend to the Lethbridge Trade and Convention Centre. 

It’s the 32nd annual Christmas Tree Festival, presented by Stringham Law. The event is a fundraiser to benefit the Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation. 

The Christmas Tree Festival has become one of southern Alberta’s most cherished holiday events, bringing together community members, sponsors, decorators, volunteers and supporters to raise funds for critical healthcare equipment, programs, and patient care initiatives throughout the region. 

This year’s four-day festival runs from Sunday to Wednesday. 

Visitors can enjoy beautifully decorated Christmas trees, festive displays, family-friendly activities, and the highly anticipated gala and auction. 

Last year, more than 8,450 community members attended the Christmas Tree Festival, helping raise $275,000.
