The magic of the holidays will soon be here, filled with wonder and delight. Celebrate the season with your family at the University Hospital Foundation’s Festival of Trees, Santa’s Breakfast, presented by Volvo Cars Edmonton.
This family-favourite holiday celebration returns to the Edmonton Convention Centre on November 30, 2025. Enjoy a buffet breakfast, pictures with Santa, and fun activities for kids (and kids at heart!). Best of all, your support of the Festival of Trees helps the University Hospital Foundation fund innovation in prevention, research and patient care at the University of Alberta Hospital and beyond.
The University Hospital Foundation’s Festival of Trees has been Edmonton’s signature holiday festival since 1985. It has raised over $25 million and helped support a wide range of life-saving causes, including Gamma Knife radiosurgery, the expansion of the cardiovascular intensive care unit at the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, and the opening of the West Edmonton Kidney Care clinic. This year’s festival, proudly presented by Landmark Homes, will raise funds to help transform healthcare and tackle challenges like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and heart disease.
