Looking for a great kick start to the holiday season? Be sure to check out this year's Festival of Trees! Christmas is coming and so is the return of the Festival. Folks, we invite you to mark Dec. 2nd & 3rd on your calendar.

This year's Festival will be a 2-day event kicked off by a luncheon at the Sharbot Lake Country Inn on Friday Dec. 2nd announcing the judges favourites. Following lunch, the doors of Oso Hall will open to reveal a magical Christmas montage of beautifully decorated trees, artwork, holiday baskets filled with all manner of treats and treasures, gifts from local businesses - all to be raffled off to lucky winners. The theme of the Festival is: "My Favourite Things”.

The Festival of Trees is a fundraiser for Villages Beautiful a volunteer group committed to enhancing the spaces where we work and play. The Festival provides the villages of Central Frontenac with a financial resource for beautification plans in their respective communities. The monies raised are put toward the purchase of flowers, trees and small landscape projects that complement our natural landscape and give us pride in the places that we live.

If you would like more information, or wish to contribute to the Festival by way of donation – through the purchase of a tree for decoration or giving an item or gift that can be raffled please contact: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

The deadline for entries is Nov. 25th, We look forward to seeing you at the Festival. It really is one of "My Favourite Things"!!
