Edmonton's Signature Holiday Event

Since 1985, the University Hospital Foundation’s Festival of Trees has brought families and friends together to celebrate the season, create lasting memories and support critically important causes at the University of Alberta Hospital (UAH) site. 

As always, at the core of Festival is our tireless volunteers who commit countless hours and unmeasurable dedication, year after year, to the University Hospital Foundation’s largest fundraising, and friendraising, event of the year. 

The success of Festival of Trees speaks for itself – over $23 million raised, supporting causes as far-ranging and life-saving as Gamma Knife radiosurgery and expanding the cardiovascular intensive care unit at the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute to making life better for people living with end-stage kidney disease with the opening of the West Edmonton Kidney Care clinic. 

Shake it up

The theme of the 2023 Festival of Trees, presented by Landmark Homes, is Shake IUp! No toy captures the magic and awe of the holidays quite like a snow globe. That’s why this year, as family, friends and communities come together for our annual celebration, the University Hospital Foundation invites you to shake it up, have fun and help support the incredible work of the medical teams at the University of Alberta Hospital. 

Supporting two causes with one Festival

Your support of the Festival of Trees impacts two important causes that will impact healthcare teams and patients today, and for years to come. Help us reach our goal of raising $2.4 million towards the creation of a state-of-the-art Simulation Centre and the transformation of the Fourth Floor Atrium.

Presented by Landmark Homes, the University Hospital Foundation’s 2023 Festival of Trees is bringing unforgettable fun for family and friends alike – all while giving you the chance to double your impact on health care at the University of Alberta Hospital with two causes to support!
