Welcome

to the Festival of Trees

FOR OVER 30 YEARS THE FESTIVAL HAS KICKED OFF THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, WITH BEAUTIFUL TREES, TREATS, FESTIVE MUSIC AND HOLIDAY CHEER.

Brooks Early Learning Academy (BELA) is proud to be hosting one of our community’s favorite holiday traditions! An all ages event Thursday through Saturday afternoon, with something for everyone! 

But first lets learn a little more about BELA, Brooks Early Learning Academy is a registered charity and our mission is to provide innovative preschool programming and early intervention services for children and families. BELA is a diverse and inclusive learning environment and our goal is to offer programming that is accessible to all children in our community.

We also specialize in working with children with special needs and those learning English as a second language. As a way to extend further support to families in our area, we will be sharing the proceeds from Festival of Trees with a beneficiary each year that also works with or provides services or supports to children and families. This years’ co-beneficiary will be the Aarit Hok Pediatric Fund (AHPF) which is a legacy fund under the Brooks & District Health Foundation specified for the needs of pediatrics at the Brooks Health Centre. It prioritizes the needs of the emergency department and also assists all aspects of the hospital in regards to pediatric needs and care. This fund was created by Aarit’s parents in memory of their sweet angel.

What to Expect

Join us for an all-ages event running from Thursday through Saturday afternoon, featuring a series of exciting special events that span the entire weekend. And don't forget to mark your calendar for Saturday evening when we invite you to the Jingle & Mingle Dinner: An unforgettable night out filled with a festive dinner, holiday drinks, captivating entertainment, and the highly anticipated grand finale of the Tree Auction.
