Kenora & Lake of the Woods Community Foundation

Festival of Trees

The Festival of Trees is an annual event hosted by the KLWCF in late November or early December. The gala features live music, silent and live auctions, and dinner with drinks.

What is the Festival of Trees?

The Festival of Trees is a gala featuring dinner and entertainment, with silent and live auctions. Charmingly decorated trees create a picturesque setting for this event, and the trees are auctioned off during the gala in support of the KLWCF.

What does the event support?

Every dollar raised at the Festival of Trees goes directly to the operations of the Kenora & Lake of the Woods Community Foundation, to ensure we can continue our important community work.

Since 2004, the Community Foundation has granted over $5 million to over fifty different local charities and has endowment funds close to $10 million.
