Welcome to Festival of Trees
For over 30 years, the Festival of Trees has marked the beginning of the holiday season — filling our community with sparkling trees, sweet treats, joyful music, and heartwarming cheer.
This year, Brooks Early Learning Academy (BELA) is proud to once again host one of our community’s most beloved holiday traditions! Join us Thursday through Saturday afternoon for an all-ages celebration featuring festive fun, creative displays, and plenty of magic for the whole family.
Before the festivities begin, let’s take a moment to share a little about BELA.
Brooks Early Learning Academy is a registered charity dedicated to providing innovative preschool programming and early intervention services for children and families. BELA is a diverse and inclusive learning environment, offering accessible programming for all children in our community. We also specialize in supporting children with special needs and those learning English as a second language.
Each year, BELA proudly shares proceeds from the Festival of Trees with a community partner that provides vital support to children and families.
✨ This year’s co-beneficiaries are Brooks Early Learning Academy and Ronald McDonald House Charities Alberta.
Together, we’re helping ensure that families — both here at home and across the province — have the care, comfort, and connection they need during challenging times.
Let’s make this season brighter, together.
What to Expect
