Festival of Trees: Join Canmore's Rotary & The Malcolm Hotel for Holiday Celebrations 

Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
Can you smell it?
Can you see it?……. that first bar of a Christmas tune, that first tingly feeling as you say to yourself, “ahhhh Christmas!”, the scent of pine, cinnamon, and cookies, the snow falling gently out your window. In Canmore, the annual Festival of Trees presented by the Rotary Club of Canmore and the Malcolm Hotel tells us the season is upon us. Come celebrate Christmas in Canmore!

Incorporating our local businesses and community organizations as they vie for top spot in all things Christmas tree decor, the work begins the first week of December. Whimsical, beautiful, clever, traditional and honoring, our tree competitors work hard to create corridors of wonder at the Malcolm Hotel.

Would you like to be a part of the Festival of Trees?

Show us how your business would represent the holiday season with decorating a tree or wreath. Be a sponsor of one of the many festive activities. Or, make a donation in the spirit of the season.

There is a sponsorship package for everyone. Take a look to see where you fit best.

The Festival of Trees is the Rotary Club of Canmore’s largest fundraiser of the year. Last year, over $80,000 was raised; enabling the Club to give to many organizations.

Once the halls of Christmas beauty are created, and the community begins to wander throughout the greenery, the Festival has arrived. A Senior’s Christmas Afternoon tea for our most respected citizens is held, featuring tea and treats, music and prizes. One can attend a Kids Holiday Extravaganza of crafts, goodies, games and stories for kids of all ages. A Spirits of Christmas Tasting experience presenting, fine wines, whiskeys, spirits, craft beers, curated hors’doeuvres, and of course laughter on a chilly December Friday evening. And, finally for our families just before Christmas, the annual Breakfast with Santa.

You will hear it
You will feel it,
You will smell it
and you most definitely will see it!
