The 2024 Festival of Trees is a whole new experience that you will not want to miss. To elevate the overall experience and maximize our community impact, we have made three major changes. First, we changed venues to Sandpoint’s one and only The Hive. Second, we’ve expanded to a day-long Friends & Family event, and lastly, we are partnering with The Angels Over Sandpoint to bring these over-the-top experiences to life. Each of these decisions increase the opportunity for community involvement and collaboration and will make this Festival of Trees one to remember!

This year, we’re turning up the festive fun with a FREE all-day extravaganza on November 30th, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, at The Hive! Snap a picture with Santa, savor scrumptious cookies and hot cocoa, and get ready to vote for your favorite creation in our 4th-grade gingerbread house contest! There will also be chances to enjoy local holiday entertainment while the kids dive into free crafts and activities. Plus, this year we have moved five of our stunning Christmas trees into a virtual auction, where everyone in the community has a chance to bid and own a tree that lights their home AND ignites the spirit of giving. 50% of tree sale proceeds will be gifted back to the non profit tree creator. We have kept our popular giving tree and will be raffling off a spectacular tree donated by the Idaho Club. All of this adds up to the perfect recipe for spreading holiday cheer with your loved ones and making memories that will last a lifetime!

Get ready to deck the halls and indulge your senses at the most glamorous holiday event of the season, hosted at a brand new location. Picture this: VIP balcony booths, jaw-dropping decor, and a catered feast from 113 Main that will have your taste buds singing. Don your fanciest attire because this is your chance to sparkle and shine while you eat, drink, be merry, and raise your paddle for some fabulous tree-tastic treasures. Plus: you’ll be the first to hear about our big, bold vision for the future!

Trust us; this is one festive affair you won’t want to miss.
