An Elevated Evening of Fine Dining and Fundraising
The University Hospital Foundation’s Festival of Trees Gala, presented by Suncor, returns on Thursday, November 26, 2026 — and this year, it promises to be an evening of extraordinary elegance.
Join us at 5:30 p.m. at the Edmonton Convention Centre for a black-tie celebration steeped in the grandeur of the season. Executive Chef Serge Belair returns with a multi-course menu crafted for the occasion, complemented by live entertainment, a silent auction, exclusive live auction items, a balloon raffle and coveted networking opportunities — all set against a backdrop of ornate holiday splendour.
Every detail has been considered. Every gift makes a difference. The Festival of Trees Gala is where the finest evening of the year meets our most important cause: Head and Heart, the University Hospital Foundation’s commitment to advancing care for the brain, the heart and the vital systems they sustain.
When you support the Festival of Trees — through the Gala, the Silver Bell Soiree or Santa’s Breakfast — your gift helps fund research, innovative treatments and compassionate patient care for Albertans facing some of the most complex and interconnected health challenges of our time. Together, we can transform the future of care.
